ವಾಟ್ಸಾಪಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡ್ದೆ. ಆ ಮಹಿಳೆಯ ಹೃದಯದಲ್ಲಿ ತುಂಬಿದ ಕೋಮು ವಿಷದ ತೀವ್ರತೆಯನ್ನು ಅಳೆಯುವ ಯಂತ್ರವೊಂದಿದ್ರೆ ಅದರ ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಳೇ ಒಡೆದುಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ವೆನೋ?. ಕುಂಕುಮ, ಮಾಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಧರಿಸುವಂತೆ ಟೋಪಿಗೂ ಅವಕಾಶವಿದೆಎಂದಾಗಿದೆ ನನ್ನ ಭಾವನೆ. ಏನಿದ್ದರೂ ವಿಷ ಕಾರುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮಹಿಳೆಯ ಮುಂದೆಯೂ ಸೌಮ್ಯವಾಗಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಂಡ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನದೊಂದು ಸಲಾಂ pic.twitter.com/RFaIXGuq3M

In the video, the woman persistently asserts that the conductor, being a government employee, should adhere to his religious practices privately rather than in public spaces. The conductor, maintaining a polite demeanor, responded that he has been wearing the skull cap for several years.
Who is this lady making video & forcing this conductor to remove his scarp just because it is green? Please show her face, I want to spit on her face.

However, the woman persisted in her questioning, threatening to escalate the matter to higher authorities. She emphasized that the act of wearing the cap did not constitute a law and demanded its immediate removal. The video concludes with the conductor complying and removing his cap as per the woman’s insistence.
