A special message to the Hitman’s fans
We reposted a fan’s tweet in good humour. While the image was not created by us, we do admit it could’ve been worded better. It was not meant to offend anyone in the least. Needless to say, we’re always with the Paltan.— Swiggy (@swiggy_in) April 13, 2021
Here are fans reactions:
Disrespect to India's National Team Vice Captain and Idol for millions of young cricketers is unacceptable and intolerable.
It can't be tolerated. I will never order food from this shit platform. #BoycottSwiggy pic.twitter.com/B0Jif89F4r— Raj Aryan #MI (@RajAryanTrue) April 13, 2021
I won't order a single food item on @swiggy_in from now on for the sheer disrespect they show for India's National heroes.
