Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khatter recently issued a letter to the famed London School of Economics in the United Kingdom, requesting the university to ensure the safety and well-being of Karan Kataria, an Indian student who recently faced discrimination in the institute.

The controversy was sparked inside the London School of Economics (LSE) where an Indian student named Karan Kataria alleged that he was facing massive backlash and discrimination only because he is from the Hindu community.

Karan Kataria had made serious allegations against the premium business school LSE, saying that the university is planning an ‘anti-India smear campaign’ and is discriminating against students on the basis of their religion, terming him as an Islamophobe and a homophobe.

Taking to Twitter, Karan Kataria said, “I have faced personal, vicious, and targeted attacks due to the anti-India rhetoric and Hinduphobia. I demand that the @lsesu is transparent about its reasoning. I will not be a SILENT victim of Hinduphobia.”
