Tit for tat: BJP MP Objects Warns CEAT Advert With Aamir Khan !

 

 

After the recent controversy surrounding Fabindia's 'Jashn-e-Riwaaz' ad, a BJP MP, Anantkumar Hegde, has sent an open letter to the MD and CEO of tyre company Ceat Ltd Anant Vardhan Goenka objecting to an advertisement featuring actor Aamir Khan. Hegde asked the company to address the problems faced by people on roads by “Namaz and other festive days by Muslims.” Hegde claimed that the advertisement created “unrest among the Hindus.” "Your company's recent advertisement in which Aamir Khan advising people not to fire crackers on the streets is giving a very good message. Your concern to public issues needs applause. In this regard, I request you to address one more problem faced by people on roads, i.e., blocking roads in the name of Namaz on Fridays and other important festive days by Muslims," Hegde wrote in the letter.

“Nowadays, a group of anti-Hindu actors always hurt the Hindu sentiments whereas they never try to expose the wrong doings of their community,” he added. Hegde said that he hoped that in the future, CEAT would “respect the Hindu sentiment and will not hurt it directly or indirectly by any means”.
