New Delhi: A visually impaired professor has, in a video appeal to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, said that she was recently denied a home in the capital because she is a Muslim.
"I hope no one has to encounter this kind of shameful and inhuman experience...I urge you, our dear paanch saal (five year) chief minister to look into the issue," Reem Shamsuddin said in her two-minute appeal.
"She denied me the key saying she can't rent her flat to a Muslim. It was shocking. Delhi boasts of a cosmopolitan, metropolitan nature all the time," Ms Shamsuddin said, sharing that she had never experienced "this level of discrimination" while studying in Hyderabad for eight years.

She tells Mr Kejriwal that when she arrived in Delhi in February last year, "the whole state was booming with promises of AAP, how Delhi will change."
