    Lucknow Woman Claims She Was Denied Flat For Being Muslim; Internet Rallies In Support | Watch

    1 month ago

    Lucknow resident Bushra Raza Ali Khan’s video has triggered a sharp debate on housing discrimination after she claimed she was denied a flat purely because she is Muslim. According to the account circulating on social media, the landlord initially agreed to rent the apartment but later backed out, citing vague reasons that Khan allege were a cover for communal bias. Since the clip went viral, many internet users have come out in support of her, calling the episode unconstitutional and unacceptable. 

    Viral Video Triggers Outrage

    A section of social media users alleged that Khan had finalised the flat and the owner had initially agreed to rent it out, but later began making excuses after learning her religious identity. Several posts described the incident as “open Islamophobia” and said communal bias is often disguised as “owner’s choice”. One user wrote that it was yet another instance of a Muslim being denied housing in Lucknow, while another asked whether such acts should be seen as “apartheid” or “Islamophobia”.

    Supporters said discrimination in renting accommodation based on religion is unconstitutional and should not be normalised. Some posts called the alleged refusal “blatant communal discrimination” and argued that such everyday exclusion reflects a deeper, dangerous acceptance of prejudice in society.

    The issue has since snowballed into a wider online debate around discrimination in housing and the way such incidents are framed on social media. While many users have rallied behind Khan and demanded accountability, others have focused on the need for verification and restraint before labelling the case.
