On 20 April, a man named Abhishek Mishra tweeted that he had cancelled his cab booking because his cab driver was Muslim.
Mishra is a member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishada. His verified Twitter account – that bears the bio “Hindutva Thinker” – is followed by senior BJP leaders including Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Minister of State for Culture, Mahesh Sharma.
His hate speech did not go unnoticed by Twitterati:
Ola Responds
What do cab drivers have to say about Mishra’s comments? Would they cancel out on someone on the basis of their religion? The Quint asked a few cab drivers to find out, and their responses were heart-warming, to say the least.
Their hatred can’t mess with our love and harmony.
Saqib
It doesn’t matter if he was a Hindu, Muslim or a Sikh. He was a human first.
Naveen Kumar
To quote one of the cab drivers we spoke to: “Religion does not earn us our bread”.
