Members of the Bajrang Dal created a ruckus objecting to a Hindu shop owner, Raju, renting out his shop to a Muslim juice seller under the former’s name.
Raju, who owns the juice shop in Delhi’s Najafgarh, lent his shop, ‘Raju Juice and Shakes’, to Mohammed Zaid who runs the shop under the banner.
In the video of the incident which surfaced on social media platforms the Hindutva members, reportedly from Bajrang Dal, clad in a saffron scarves, are seen questioning the owner of the shop, run by a Muslim man, with a Hindu name.
Upon noticing that the shop is run by one Mohammed Zaid, they objected and asked the owner Raju to change the name of the shop to a ‘Muslim name’ instead of a ‘Hindu name’.
“If the shop runner is Muslim then why is the Hindu name mentioned on the nameplate?” questioned the men. The shop owner responded that the name was already there before renting it out. “The barcode displays his name. Why don’t you name it after the one running it?” “The name can be anything. What is the problem in that..?” asked the owner before the men pushed that they must name it after the one running the shop.
