BHOPAL – A Zomato delivery agent was forced by the men from Hindu Jagran Manch to remove a Santa Claus attire he was wearing for Christmas celebrations in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore city.
A video of the delivery agent, who was identified as Arjun , being questioned by the Hindutva men has gone viral on social media.
In the video, the delivery man is asked to remove the dress. “Are you wearing this because of Christmas?” the Zomato delivery person is asked to which the latter replies in affirmative.
“Why don’t you wear Lord Ram’s dress or saffron clothes while making the delivery during Hindu festivals?” they ask, adding, “Do you go to deliver to people of other religions wearing saffron clothes or Lord Ram’s costume on Hindu festivals?”
The Zomato delivery man tries to reason out it is marketing and he needs to take a selfie with his customers while delivering, the Hindutva workers are not satisfied.
While removing, the delivery man complains that if he fails to wear the costume, the company will deduct money and will block his ID. However, they make him remove the attire and ask him to wear it each time he makes a delivery.
