National: Railway Staff's Islamophobic Treatment of Muslim Woman, Serving Stale Food
A Muslim family traveling on the Rajdhani Express from Panvel to Kozhikode on 9 June were subjected to Islamophobic treatment by railway staff.
The incident began when two members of railway staff asked the woman and family about their religion. After confirming that the woman was Muslim, the staff’s behavior towards her and her family became visibly different. The staff members then refused to provide them with a change of blanket, and served the woman stale and unsanitary food.
Astonishingly, the staff member responsible for distributing the food admitted that it had been retrieved from the garbage.
