A staunch Hindu have protested this advertise by sending a protest letter to the All India Sales Manager of Company is given below.
To
Shri Ramanathan
All India Sales Manager,
MTR Foods.
Respected Sir,
I would like to bring to your notice that the advertisement of MTR Instant Idli Mix has hurt the sentiments of us, Hindus. Portrayal of any person with a swollen face as Lord Hanuman is blatant denigration of the Lord.
I am referring to the advertisement which shows a person whose mother puts two idlis into is mouth. Unable to eat them fully he goes out with an overstuffed mouth. A troupe of actors sees him and immediately hires him as Hanuman. Finally he says “if it was not for MTR idlis I would not have become an actor’.
A company as old and respected as yours should not have resorted to such methods to promote your product.
So, on behalf of all Hindu’s I request you to immediately withdraw the advertisement and tender a public apology.
Thank you,
Abhishek Pai
