The Lok Sabha opened with an uproar this Wednesday due to the news of Shiv Sena MPs forcing a Muslim catering manager to break his fast during the holy month of Ramadan. A group of about 11 Shiv Sena MPs, apparently frustrated over not being served Maharashtrian food, forced a Muslim catering superviser fasting during the holy month, to eat a chapati at the new Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi last week.
An email sent to the Resident Commissioner Bipin Mallick by IRCTC Deputy GM Shankar Malhotra on the 17th of July fully explains the incident. He wrote: “Today there was a meeting of 12-15 MPs at New Maharashtra Sadan in the Press Conference Hall in which they were complaining about the services of Electrical, civil, housekeeping, catering, etc. which they are facing from the last several months in the premises of Maharashtra Sadan. The entire delegation along with the electronic media and Manager, Maharashtra Sadan, walked inside the public dining hall and started throwing chafing dish covers in the buffet area. They also issued physical threats to the kitchen and service staff while using highly objectionable language. The specific incident happened with the Resident Manager/IRCTC, Sh. Arshad who was forced to consume full chapati whilst he was having fast on the eve of Ramzan. The concerned has been deeply pained and hurt on this account as religious sentiments are attached.”
Several opposition members raised questions on the event as soon as Lok Sabha assembled for the day. Members from Congress, RJD, Trinamool Congress and AIMIM were all on their feet questioning over the incident while the PDP members could also been seen waving a paper. The Speaker said that the members should allow the Question Hour to proceed smoothly and that she will allow the issue to be raised in the Zero Hour.
