According to the witness RSS guys came and pressured them into chanting "Jai Shri Ram" or else they wont get any food ration. The witness refused to do so. The expression means "Glory to Lord Rama". Rama is a Hindu diety and the chant can be seen as a symbol of adhering to Hindu faith.

Addionally according to wikipedia:
The expression was used by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which embraced the slogan in the late 20th century, as a tool of increasing the visibility of Hinduism in public spaces and went on to use it as a war-cry, for perpetration of communal atrocities against people of other faiths.

Another group of minorities denied food. They had to go to different places and were rejected repeatedly. While a witness says that some denied them giving food and accused the Muslim community as whole of being responsible for spreading the Coronavirus.

Meanwhile, over 100 former Indian bureaucrats write letter of concerns to the Chief Ministers of states over harassment of Muslims in some parts of the country.

Some excerpts from the letter:

"We can endure, survive and overcome the challenges that this pandemic has imposed on us only by remaining united and helping each other," they said, and lauded those chief ministers who have been resolutely secular in their approach both in general and, in particular, in relation to this pandemic.

"The action of the Jamaat in organising such an event, ignoring the Delhi government''s advisories was, without question, misguided and condemnable. However, the action of the media in communalising it and extending it to the Muslim community as a whole is utterly irresponsible and reprehensible," it said.

"More disturbingly, reports of discrimination are also coming in from various places about Muslims being turned away from hospitals and health facilities," the letter said.

"In addition, there are reports of the special entitlements of rations and cash, that governments have sanctioned at this time, being denied to Muslim families," they former civil servants claimed.

"At this time of grave national and international crisis, we count on your leadership in bringing the people of India together rather than allowing the deepening of fissures in our country," they said.

if ppl r being compelled to chant (if it's real) hindu religious slogans for ration then it is really so wrong
Also if ppl r not being granted ration bcoz they are muslims & more importantly if they r being accused to spreading covid-19 then it is so wrong as well . we shuldn't alienate entire community like that

Even RSS chief said the same

Finally some top figure has openly spoken up, after almost a month since the initial "Corona Jihad" hysteria ran on the Indian Media and even some BJP politicians contributed to it. Better late than never

The same intensity is required with which the news about "Corona Jihad" and "Super spreader" was discussed to undo the damage. For instance there are news about recovered member of Tablighi Jammat cooperating with the authorities and ready to donate blood plasma.

Branded as Virus 'Super Spreaders', These Recovered Tablighis Offer Blood Plasma for Serious Patients

Maulana Saad, the jamaat chief, recently appealed to coronavirus survivors to donate blood plasma for infected people. He also urged all Muslims to pray at home during Ramzan.

Today as Delhi government struggles to find donors for the Convalescent Plasma Therapy (that seems to be a ray of hope in fighting Covid-19 battle), CM Arvind Kejriwal has appealed to all people, regardless of religion, who have recovered from the coronavirus disease to come forward and donate plasma for serious Covid-19 patients.

Sources in the Delhi Health Department have told News18.com that of 1,068 coronavirus positive Tablighis in Delhi hospitals, around 300 (who have recovered after testing double negative) have decided to donate plasma to severely ill patients in the capital.

This statement by RSS chief to not blame or alienate muslim community is not getting much coverage in indian media (both left & right)

Similarly, as few recovered tablighis r helping for plasma therapy this news doesn't get much coverage in indian media too

The reason simple : they only want to sensationalize news and they report any good part of news at some corner than on frontlines ! that is how indian media work
