A Hyderabadi user of the food delivery app swiggy made a demand that infuriated many people, who demanded that the firm blacklist the user. The client requested that swiggy not deliver his order via a Muslim. In the box provided at the top of the app, the user wrote, "Don't want a Muslim delivery guy." social media users quickly shared the image of the request, which prompted harsh criticism from many. The attempt to lend a communal flavour even to food delivery was condemned by several online users, who encouraged swiggy to take action against this clear act of racism.
The indian Federation of App-based Transport workers (IFAT) national general secretary Shaik Salauddin demanded on twitter that swiggy reject discriminatory requests. "Please take a stance against such a prejudiced proposal, @Swiggy. We (delivery personnel) are here to deliver food to everyone, whether they are Hindu, Muslim, Christians, or Sikhs. Aapas Mein Bair Rakhna Mazhab Nahi, "Salauddin, the telangana Gig and Platform workers Union's founder and state president, tweeted. Some well-known figures also urged the meal delivery app to take action, even though swiggy has not yet responded to the demand for action against the customers.
Karti P. Chidambaram, a Congressman, backed Saluddin's demand. "Platform businesses cannot stand by while gig workers are the target of such blatant discrimination motivated by religion. What steps would these businesses take to protect the rights of gig workers? "He queried. rahul Easwar, a well-known Hindu activist, also asked swiggy to put the client on their blacklist. He said that the client was promoting animosity among "our Muslim brethren." He continued by saying that such bigots denigrate India. This is not the first time a consumer has requested something similar through a restaurant delivery service. A guy in madhya pradesh cancelled an order from zomato in june after learning that his request to add a non-Hindu rider had been denied.
