Now, did KFC just join Pakistan’s Kashmir bandwagon after Hyundai and Kia?

Pakistan’s KFC Facebook post in Kashmir shows signs of brands dragged into controversy such as Hyundai. The Facebook page is verified from KFC with FB handle @KFCPakistan posting a picture message that shows ‘solidarity’ with Kashmir “You never leave our minds and we hope that the coming years bring peace to you!” Read FB posts. The image has a ‘Kashmir Kashmir written in bright red letters.

The FB timestamp shows that the post was made on February 5 at 13:18 hours of India. The post was removed on February 7, about 18:15 hours of Indian time after being online More than one hour after the controversial post removed from the KFC Pakistan Facebook page, KFC India brought to Twitter who issued an apology for the controversy. Without explicitly naming the FB handle in Pakistan, KFC India said ‘We respect and respect India “

“We are very sorry for posts published on several KFC social media channels abroad. We respect and respect India, and remain steadfast in our commitment to serve all Indians proudly,” said Tweet All signs pointing in this direction are a big problem in India, for KFC, is the main market. Netizens wonder why fast food chains decide to install controversial posts and politically charged in the first place. Some of those who comment on the initial Facebook post are predicted, perhaps with several levels of accuracy, that this unnecessary post will definitely be about brands in India.

The Facebook post from KFC was noted just a few days after Hyundai conveyed controversy when one dealer in Pakistan installed a similar post that showed support for people in Kashmir The Indian government for decades has been clearly and repeatedly said that Jammu and Kashmir are an integral part of the country. Pakistani formation has chosen to fight with India for Kashmir which resulted in their defeat at any time. But why are established brands such as KFC and Hyundai which are shed in political waters unknown. February 5 is marked as what is called “Kashmir Solidarity Day” in Pakistan After the recent controversy, Hyundai had to beat a hasty retreat and had to issue a clarification that the company had a “zero tolerance policy on non-sensitive communication” and that they “very cursed like that”. .
