Whenever a Hindu festival is celebrated in India, there have been riots, communal clashes and whatnot! Now, Swiggy, the major online delivery platform has grabbed the limelight all over social media for all the wrong reasons.
 
Netizens are upset over a Swiggy billboard about Holi celebrations. It shows eggs as a must-need during Holi; not to smash them over someone’s head but for consumption.
 
Netizens fume over Hinduphobic Swiggy Ad on Hindu Holi festival
 
Why do only such ads come out during Hindu festivals?
 
 
The billboard has irked people to the extent that some have uninstalled the Swiggy app immediately after the image of it went viral.
 
A user said, "Swiggy did you put up the same billboard during Eid, asking Muslims to refrain from slaughtering goats or during Christmas urging Christians to not cut down trees? Keep your Hinduphobia out of our festivals and let us celebrate Holi the way we want."
 
 
A user said, "Holi Reel & Billboard of @Swiggy is disrespectful towards a festival celebrated by millions. Why no such gyan on other non-Hindu festivals? Swiggy must apologise to Hindus for its intentional mistake"
 
 
Another user said, "Holi is a festival that brings people together, but @Swiggy's actions are creating divisions. Company must take down the billboards, reel & Apologize for their insensitive behavior. As a brand that serves diverse communities, it's important to respect all #HinduPhobicSwiggy…"
