A customer while ordering food on Swiggy mentioned, ‘Don’t send a Muslim delivery person’, in the how to reach box. This message triggered a controversy on the social media. Netizens started asking,’ does food have a religion’?
It was shocking to see a customer’s message mentioning that his order should not be delivered by a Muslim delivery boy.
This screenshot was shared by JAC Shaik Salauddin, the chairman of Telangana State Taxi Drivers. Furthermore, he requested Swiggy to take a stand against such a request.
Dear @Swiggy please take a stand against such a bigoted request. We (Delivery workers) are here to deliver food to one and all, be it Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh @Swiggy @TGPWU Mazhab Nahi Sikhata Aapas Mein Bair Rakhna #SareJahanSeAchhaHindustanHamara#JaiHind #JaiTelangana pic.twitter.com/XLmz9scJpH

Dear Swiggy, please take a stand against such a bigoted request. We (delivery workers) are here to deliver food to one and all, be it Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh. Mazhab Nahi Sikhata Aapas Mein Bair Rakhna (sic).”
Mahua Moitra, the Trinamool Lok Sabha MP commented on the controversy. “Sickening to see normalisation of hatred & bigotry – what would earlier be hidden personal prejudices now become proud public proclamations of majoritarianism. pls blacklist customer, make name public & also file police complaint. This is blatantly illegal.”
However, Swiggy did not respond to the tweet yet.
