After Boycott HUL Movement, Twitterati Trend #BoycottSurfExcel Over A New Ad

HUL seems to feeling the heat of anger as their ads are receiving backlash on the internet. Recently, we wrote how Hindustan Unilever’s Kumbh Ad was criticised for saying that those who get abandoned travel to Kumbh Mela. Baba Ramdev had also supported this boycott movement.

From East India Co to @HUL_News that’s their true character. Their only agenda is to make the country poor economically & ideologically. Why shld we not boycott them? For them everything, every emotion is just a commodity. For us parents are next to Gods #BoycottHindustanUnilever https://t.co/suozbymLBI

This case hadn’t solved down completely and another one is making news for the multinational company. Don’t just go for what people think, first watch the complete ad below:

Well, we don’t know what offensed the viewers and this ad is okay according to our opinion but here’s how users on Twitter reacted:

This is so beautiful stuff #SurfExcel.
Secularism is an integral part of our nation, shame on those people who want to #BoycottSurfExcel for this commercial. #HappyHolipic.twitter.com/Z9ZxgVyPn9

The Sanghis have completely lost the capacity to think healthy. They are trending #BoycottSurfExcel. Why? Because their twisted minds are showing them "love Jihad" in the recent Holi ad featuring children. It's a beautiful ad that promotes communal harmony. But fascists hate it.
