Bengaluru. It became difficult to stop an elderly man from watching a movie in a dhoti at GT Mall. Seeing the anger of the people, the state government has ordered to keep the mall closed for seven days. The government said it was against the law to deny someone entry on the basis of dress.
The mall staff did not allow a farmer wearing a dhoti to enter just because he came wearing a dhoti. It was also debated in the Karnataka Assembly and all party leaders condemned the behavior of the mall administration. The government termed insulting the farmer as an attack on his dignity and self-respect. Clearly stated that this will not be tolerated. Urban Development Minister B. I have asked the BBMP (Brhat Bangalore Municipal Corporation) Commissioner what action can be taken in this matter,” Suresh said in the assembly. What are the rights of the government? GT World Mall will take immediate action as per law and we will ensure that the mall remains closed for seven days.
