Zeshan Ali Khan, a 22-year-old MBA graduate, who was denied a job on the basis of his religion requested all the politicians not to play politics with the issue.
“As of now, all I want to say is that this issue should not be politicized”, said Zeeshan.
It is being played up for politics by everyone. We have had local political party representatives belonging to all parties come home and offer different kinds of help to me.
While those from BJP and Sena have offered a job, some from Congress and NCP have offered to help me fight the case. Some others have suggested other things.
He said that the issue not be exploited for votes, a group of political party representatives belonging to the Indian Union Muslim League was planning to hold a press conference to offer jobs to competent ‘non-Muslims’, according to the paper reported.
A day after filing a first information report (FIR) against the discrimination which grossly violates the Constitution, he has received a steady stream of political representatives offering him either a job or some other help in fighting the case.
