Ola cabs openly rebuked the man saying, Óla, like our country, is a secular platform'.

A man posted on his Twitter account that he cancelled an Ola cab because the driver allotted to him was a Muslim, adding that he did not want to give his money to "Jihadi people".

Abhishek Mishra, who claims to be a "Hindutva thinker", is interestingly followed by ministers like Nirmala Sitharaman, Rajyavardhan Rathore and Piyush Goyal

Mishra, a verified user of Twitter, is also followed by the columnist of Swarajya magazine, Shefali Vaidya. Mishra had posted the tweet on April 20.

Ola was quick to respond to the hateful tweet of Mishra. "Ola, like our country, is a secular platform, and we don't discriminate our driver partners or customers basis their caste, religion, gender or creed. We urge all our customers and driver partners to treat each other with respect at all times," the cab aggregator tweeted.

Mishra's tweet also carried a screenshot of the Ola booking and remained intact till the publication of this story.

Many argued that its his freedom of speech. Mishra a day after his original tweet, posted another tweet asking people to endorse his views by retweeting. And that tweet had a good 98 retweets and 116 likes. Its pertinent here to mention that Mishra original tweet had a whopping 702 Retweets and 1221 likes at the time of writing this article.

One of the main arguments of Mishra is if people can cancel cabs spotting Hanuman photo and proudly claim so, he too is entitled to do that. Actually, very recently many cabs have been flaunting a hanuman photo. And some indeed have claimed t have cancelled their cabs just to protest that.

Meanwhile, Amazon India is struggling with right-wingers giving their app one star rating for featuring Swara Bhaskar in one of their promotional campaigns. Swara Bhaskar has been at the receiving end of targetted harassment and trolling on Twitter for speaking up against eight-year-old Kathua girl's rapists.
