70-Year-Old Farmer Denied Entry to Bengaluru's GT World Mall for Wearing Dhoti, Sparks Outrage
Jul 17, 2024, 08:33 AM
A controversy has erupted in Bengaluru after a 70-year-old septuagenarian farmer named Fakeerappa was allegedly denied entry into GT World Mall for wearing a dhoti and a white shirt. The incident occurred when Fakeerappa, accompanied by his son, attempted to enter the mall to watch a movie at the multiplex. The mall's security guard reportedly barred him from entering due to his attire. The incident has sparked outrage and protests, with many people, including pro-Kannada organizations, gathering outside the mall in solidarity, wearing dhotis as a mark of protest. Karnataka Labour Minister has assured action, calling the incident a shame and promising to look into the matter. The mall management has apologized for the security officer's mistake and emphasized that the dhoti is a part of the culture that they take pride in.
