Zeeshan Khan, the Mumbai youth who was denied a job<\/a><\/span> with a terse email saying that the the company he’s applied to “only hired non-Muslim candidates, has received a job offer from the Adani group. This ends a weeklong saga for Zeeshan after he made national headlines and was a subject of a heated debate about the status of minorities in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zeeshan says he was flooded with messages of support following the incident. He also received over a dozen job offers following his ordeal. “I chose the Adani offer because it was the best”, says Zeeshan, who is in Ahmedabad to complete the formalities regarding his job.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We encourage talent irrespective of caste, creed and religion. We found Zeeshan a competent candidate and hence a job was offered,” said an Adani spokesperson.\u00a0The Adani group is an Ahmedabad-based conglomerate whose\u00a0diversified businesses include resources, logistics, agribusiness and energy sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zeeshan has earlier filed a case against the Diamond exporter which has denied him a job\u00a0under section 153B of the IPC, which deals with national integration and provides for a jail term of up to three years for the guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
