Indore:Members of right-wing Hindu organisations, who have been opposing Christmas celebrations in Madhya Pradesh's Indore district, on Wednesday publicly humiliated a Zomato delivery man and forced him to remove his Santa Claus attire. A video of the incident that occurred at a posh market in Indore has also surfaced on social media.
The video shows a group stopping the delivery man and asking whether he was wearing such an attire due to Christmas. When the man nodded, the group asked him if he wore dresses as per Hindu festivals as well. The man then tried to explain that his attire was part of promotion strategy where he had to click photograph with customers. However, the group forced him to remove his dress even though the man kept pressing that he may be penalised for not following company's directives. The group told him to put on the dress only while delivering an order.
The video drew severe criticism from netizens, who condemned the act of moral policing. They said such an attitude is against religious harmony.
