Mir Junaid | Delhi Was denied entry into Delhi restaurant for wearing Indian attire: Kashmiri politician Mir Junaid alleges
New Delhi/IBNS: Jammu Kashmir Workers Party (JKWP) president Mir Junaid has alleged that he was denied entry into a restaurant in south Delhi because he was wearing an "Indian attire".
Junaid has accused restaurant 'We Qutub' of making the discrimination against him.
In a tweet which he tagged Delhi's Commissioner of Police, the Union Home Ministry and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, he said, "It is a shame to see that after 75 years of independence, our obsession with western supremacy isn’t leaving us. Yesternight I went to a restaurant - We Qutub in South Delhi & was denied entry for wearing an Indian dress."

"On one side we are celebrating the #AzadiKaAmrutMahotsav & on the other discrimination on the basis of the dress code is being done by a restaurant in the heart of the national capital. Does this country need to dress in a western attire to eat at a restaurant?" he added.
The young Kashmiri politician has also shared an article to state how a Sikh man was earlier denied entry into the same restaurant in south Delhi for his religious identity.
I came across another case regarding the same restaurant in which a Sikh Guy wasn’t allowed entry because of his beard & turban. This is shameful to see in the free India. The authorities must take cognisance on this issue. https://t.co/Dk2pzfSY6g @DCPSouthDelhi @LtGovDelhi 3/n
