He then asked the woman to leave and threatened her by saying, “I will kick you”, to which the woman replied that she was not standing on his father’s land.
The incident has sparked outrage on social media. One user said, “If they are giving food to someone only after chanting slogans, then it is not an NGO! Shameful.”
Another user commented, “I won’t be surprised if this NGO is getting funding from BJP-RSS. This hatred is being spread all over India.”
Another user wrote, “The man’s act is shameful. The NGO should be informed about this. Is this Hindutva? Is this the real message of Ram? Very shameful.”
“Shameful; no community discriminates like this in giving food to the needy,” said a user.
The local police have been informed about the incident. However, no action has been taken against the distributor yet as no formal complaint has been lodged.
