A toast to Ola cabs for this reply to an incredibly partisan request.

A person who goes by the name of Seelam Veerapa Naidu tweeted @Olacabs saying, "Being a Hindu i usually prefer Driver of Hindu Faith Only , Particularly in Hyderabad.. pls Give us a chance to Choose a Driver."

Ola responded saying, "Sorry, we do not discriminate against our drivers on the basis of their religion."

Naidu (pictured), who calls himself: a "Physician, SapioSexual, Neophyte, Political Scientist, economist, dreamer of alternate capital" on Twitter, replies, "@Olacabs Why Shld we see it as Discrimination instead of Customer Preference."

Naturally Mr Naidu has been battered with well-deserved tweets like this:  '@justhowifeel_97 @Olacabs @SVeerapaNaidu why should they see you as a customer instead of a giant conservative pig."

The exchange between Naidu and Ola actually took place on 6 April, but came to the fore only today.

Among Ola's supporters are rivals Uber who tweeted @Uber_Delhi
@Olacabs Well said, guys. #respect @SVeerapaNaidu.

J-K CM Omar Abdullah joined the cheerleaders tweeting, @abdullah_omar "Well done @Olacabs. More power to you. "

Seeing the traction on Twitter, as an afterthought, Naidu tweeted, "@Olacabs My intention is not to hurt any one."
