The video of a Muslim vegetable seller has gone viral on social media. Named as Raeesa Ansari, she  sells vegetables in Indore city.

In this viral video, Raeesa can be seen speaking, in fluent English, expressing her anger against municipal authorities for allegedly asking her to remove her pushcart from the roadside.

The woman reportedly comes from a marginalized family and earned her PhD in Material Science from Indore  in Madhya Pradesh, yet she sells vegetables as she couldn’t get a job due to alleged communal biases against the community.

“Who will offer me job? Who will help my family survive? My names is Raeesa Ansari and this is why I’m not getting any work”, Raeesa is heard saying in this viral video.

Ansari, who says she is looking after a family of around 23 members, added, “Our family has been selling vegetables for 50 years now, if the municipality asks us to remove our belongings from here, who would help us survive?buy imodium online buy imodium no prescription ”
