A tweet of an alleged 2016 anti-Hindu advertisement which was not even made by Myntra went viral once again on Sunday, the hashtag #BoycottMyntra and #UninstallMyntra is trending on Twitter on Monday. The advertisement was created by ScrollDroll in 2016 and posted on Twitter, featuring the Myntra logo.

Five years later on Monday morning, several people had already begun uninstalling the application, giving one line review of hurting anti-Hindu sentiments. Many people, enraged at the advertisement, took to Twitter to boycott the shopping website Myntra.

When the people were celebrating Rakshabandhan in the country on Sunday, the demand for not only to boycott Myntra but also to uninstall the online garment shopping app started on Twitter like many times it’s happened in the past.

This time it was trending for the exact same reason it did in 2016 – for an anti-Hindu poster which the company didn’t even make. However, in 2016, the hashtag #BoycotteMyntra had surfaced after the ScrollDroll put out an advertisement for e-commerce shopping platform Myntra showed a scene from the Mahabharata to sell their products.

The ScrollDroll had made an advertisement which specifically showed Krishna looking for extra long sarees on the Myntra app as Dushaasan disrobed Draupadi caused the controversy back in 2016.

After the advertisement, the people had started to boycott Myntra assuming that it was made by Myntra which is known for being a retailer of garments. They had slammed the graphic for trivializing the scene from the Hindu epic, deeming it disrespectful to their religion.

To stop the Twitter outrage, Myntra had also made a tweet confirming that this advertisement was not published by them. ScrollDroll had taken responsibility for this advertisement.

Myntra, which didn’t associated with the advertisement is not the only brand which has been at the receiving end of flak for anti-Hindu sentiments. Earlier, Surf Excel, Tanishq, Kerala tourism and many more advertisements have also been called out for hurting religious sentiments.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
