Minister KTR asks IKEA to apologise

Hyderabad, Aug. 29: Taking serious objection to the alleged racist treatment for a customer at Ikea store in the city, Industries Minister KT Rama Rao wanted the store management to apologize to the customer.

Nitin Sethi, a customer at the store on Sunday tweeted “Racist treatment at Ikea store in Hyderabad. Only my wife, from Manipur got frisked for goods she bought. No one else before us. And then all the supervisory staff came to defend the racism. Great show from an international store. Cheers to another usual day”

This is appalling and absolutely unacceptable @IKEAIndia

Please ensure a proper apology is issued & more importantly educate, sensitise & train your staff to respect all your customers graciously

Hope you will make amends asap https://t.co/l84GimoIrM
