INDIA, Oct 31(ABC): India’s right-wing boycott trendsetters on Sunday didn’t spare Cadbury — one of the world’s leading multinational confectionery companies — on social media after it claimed to have used gelatin in their products which were “derived from beef”, hurting sentiments of devotees as a result.
Boycotts based on “sentiments being hurt” have been gradually increasing and gaining ground in India. Movies, celebrities, brands, and organisations — everything continues to be scrutinised by the country’s right-wing boycott brigade, reported.
A screenshot, reportedly shared by Cadbury’s web page, is being shared widely on social media which has caused an uproar among Hindu right-wing groups in India. In the screenshot, the company mentioned that the gelatin used in their products is “halal certified and derived from beef”.
