Gaana, the music streaming platform has already sacked its employee Tanzila Anis a day after her disgusting comment on social media.
Tanzila Anas had tweeted, “Bajrang Dal Activist. That’s it, that’s the tweet.”
The tweet was utterly in bad taste and sought to justify the murder of youth from the majority community.
In a statement posted on social media, Gaana said, “With regards to the social media posts by a recently joined employee of Gaana, these posts do not represent our values. She is no longer employed by the company.” The platform also said that it “respects all religions and communities of India.”
Gaana respects all religions and communities of India.
With regards to the social media posts by a recently joined employee of Gaana, these posts do not represent our values. She is no longer employed by the company.
We will continue to bring music to our country.
