Will start to buy Haldirams: Netizens on a TV reporters rant over Urdu text on packet
cancel

New Delhi: "Showing anything in the name of news targeting Muslim community is the shortest way to get famous" is one of the social media user's reactions to Sudarshan TV channel reporter's outburst at a Haldiram's store manager over the Urdu writing on the snack pack.

In a video being widely circulated on social media, the reporter can be heard insisting on the manager answering why Haldiram's did print in Urdu on its snack packet. She wants to know whether the company secretly thrust something which is hurting the feelings of Hindus.

The reporter can be heard repeatedly urging the manager to answer what the company intends to hide by writing in Urdu on the snack packet.

To the reporter's repeated tirade over the Urdu text, the manager makes her stand clear by saying "you can do whatever ma'am, Haldiram's will not entertain such tantrums," adding that "what you think you could do drama by thrusting a mic, then do it I am not answering you."

The video set off a heated debate on social media, where one user wondered whether "Haldirma's also become anti-national." Other users have shown Urdu written on railway station boards and currencies and urged the reporter to start a campaign against the Indian currency for the Urdu text.

Sudarshan TV, a TV channel backed by the far right group, has been reprimanded by the Supreme Court for airing Islamophobic content. Despite the court's censure, the channel continued to air the vicious content on the subject of "conspiracy to infiltrate Muslims in government service," with the government's permission.

The channel had aired episodes on the subject before the Supreme Court intervened to stop airing them. "An insidious attempt has been made to insinuate that the community is involved in a conspiracy to infiltrate the civil services. Several statements in the episodes, which have been drawn to the attention of the Court, are not just palpably erroneous, but have been made in wanton disregard of the truth", commented the court.
