One can clearly see that he is opposing the Muslim community and wants to avoid the cab riders having Muslim drivers. This tweet caught the attention of Twitter users and they started sharing their views on this.

Don’t discriminate based on religion.
Don’t discriminate based on religion. When I get Hindu driver or Christian or whatever doesn’t matter. Use your drive as an opportunity to connect with your community, not divide. I’m sure the driver and you have more in common than you think.

Soon, Ola came to the act and replied Ashok in the perfect way. Ola wrote: 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.

This tweet got positive responses and a lot of people believe that such users should be blacklisted from using Ola.
Massive respect!!
Massive Respect @Olacabs for putting this lowlife to his place. I’m sure he leads a sad and unproductive life.

You should have a flag system
You should have a flag system @Olacabs to put these kinds of people under no cab ride list. They better learn a lesson!!

If possible suspend the account of @Abhishek_Mshra for indecent behavior with the driver and hatred,so that it won't be repeated again in future.— Malhar Takle (@MalharTakle) April 22, 2018
