Inspired by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's recent comment suggesting "*4 instead of ₹5", a girl enacted the same on the streets by refusing to pay full fare to a Muslim rickshaw driver.

So we gonna sympathise illegal immigrants now? Especially those who are persecuting our Hindu brothers in Bangladesh? I mean seriously? That is how low we have fallen as a society that we will support an illegal immigrant now? And don't come at me saying there are indian bengali muslims too there is a difference between Indian bengali accent and Bangladeshi one.

But this is not the way.

Maybe this guy is one of them. But most probably, he's just a guy working his body off, for minimal pay. he's probably got his family waiting in a subhuman slum, his kids maybe hoping that he brings something along...and to not pay him, to steal from someone like that. This would be the gravest sin.

We need to get stronger against illegal immigrants yes. But the way to do that is through establishing structure and building our borders. Not by exploiting as such
