Day ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, netizens slammed one of the most selling tea products – Red Label by Manufacturing company Hindustan Unilever – for its latest commercial advertisement that is centred around the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.
The ad shows a Hindu man looking out for a Ganesha idol to take home but he steps back and hesitates before buying it when he comes to know that a Muslim man has created it.
Netizens say the ad promotes Islamophobia. Many have outrightly spoken that this ad insult Hindus and have gone on twitter for a ban of the tea company.

One user said, “Red Label is a very prestigious company but they have to understand that out of 130 crore there is 80 crore are peaceful peoples that is why every one lives peacefully , so don’t give lesson during hindu festival.”
Another user said, “Earlier in the Surf excel ad and today in Red label ad they are teaching the Hindus to be in peace and love Muslims. Is HUL interested in Marketing or hurting the feelings of Hindus?”
