Balakrishna was mass-reported to his employers, Moro Hub, for sharing communal posts against the Muslim community.

A Hyderabad man working as a chief accountant in the United Arab Emirates has come under investigation by his employers for sharing Islamophobic posts suggesting that members of the Muslim community were deliberately spreading coronavirus.

The person, identified as Balakrishna, was working at Moro Hub, a data solutions service centre. Offended by his brazenly communal posts, many people found his LinkedIn profile and mass-reported his online activity to his employees through Twitter, prompting action against him.

Moro Hub in its response to the complaints said, “We take a zero-tolerance attitude to material that is or may be deemed to be Islamophobic or hate speech. The tweets that we have been alerted to do not in any way reflect Moro’s brand values. This case is currently under investigation & necessary action will be taken.”


Besides tagging his employees, the complainants also tagged Dubai Police for legal action against Balakrishna.

It is being reported that Balakrishna was sacked from his job after an investigation by Moro Hub found him guilty but this is yet to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, another Indian expat, Rakesh B Kitturmath from Ranebennur in Karnataka, who was working as a team leader at Emrill Services, a facilities management company headquartered in Dubai, was fired on Thursday for making Islamophobic comments on Facebook.

“Kitturmath’s employment stands terminated with immediate effect. He will be handed over to Dubai Police. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards such hate crimes,” Stuart Harrison, CEO of Emrill Services, told Gulf News.

Rakesh is reportedly a member of the BJP.

Infuriated over the report of Rakesh’s termination, people have appealed to the Union Home Minister seeking action against those who are reporting communal posts to their employers.

Meanwhile, Rahul Easwar, an activist and member of the Sabarimala tantri family, appealed to activists and journalists from the Muslim community to help Rakesh “get leniency” from Dubai Police.

Hyderabad: In the backdrop of rising tide of anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobia on the social media, a company in Dubai sacked an employee from Hyderabad for his hate-filled posts on Facebook.

Bala Krishna Nakka from Hyderabad, who was working as Chief Accountant at Dubai’s Moro Hub Data Solutions Company, was sacked after his Facebook went viral evoking widespread condemnation. The man had posted images on his Facebook page which showed Muslims as suicide bombers wearing bombs in the form of coronavirus cells.

It triggered demands both on Facebook and Twitter for action against him. In a quick response the company announced that the person was being sacked from his job, as the company had zero tolerance towards hate propaganda.






Moro Hub said in a statement: “At Moro, we take a zero tolerance attitude to material that is or may be deemed Islamophoic or hate speech. The tweets that we have been alerted to do not, in any way, reflect Moro’s brand values.”

Since the outbreak of coronavirus in India, a more intense hate propaganda has been unleashed by right wing elements on social media targeting India’s Muslim minority, some of whom are based in Gulf region.


As both the mainstream media, especially Indian TV channels, as well as social media users, have unleashed a campaign linking the spread of virus to a Muslim missionary organisation, the Tableeghi Jamaat, in India, a fresh war of words has broken out on social media.

While some activists have taken up it on themselves to highlight the hate propaganda and draw the attention of employers to such hate mongers, the right wing social media handles have also launched their own counter-offensives against such activists.

=================

it seems like BJP and RSS are using social media to spread islamophobia, plenty of evidences and yet BJP has not acted against it, which shows the entire party is directly complicit on it.
