Haldiram's trends after TV reporter 'bullies staff' over 'Urdu text' on Falhari mixture snack
Chandigarh, April 6
A video of a news reporter “hackling” a store manager of a Haldiram’s outlet for Urdu description on the packaging of a namkeen mixture is going insanely viral on Twitter.
The snack ‘Falhari Mixture’ has been one of the most popular fasting mixtures of the brand.
As per the video, the description at the back of the namkeen is written in Urdu while the main text on the front is in English.
The packaging very clearly shows the green vegetarian symbol.
हल्दीराम के आउटलेट में घुसकर सुदर्शन न्यूज़ की गुंडागर्दी.
यकीन मानिए ये सब पुलिस की मौजूदगी में हो रहा है. #Haldirams pic.twitter.com/SLv47XHVi4— Puneet Kumar Singh (@puneetsinghlive) April 5, 2022
The viral video surfaced on Twitter only after a Hindi news channel shared the clip of the reporter confronting a Halidram’s store manager for the Urdu packaging on the said product.
The female reporter is heard questioning the manager “what Haldiram’s was trying to hide by concealing the description of the namkeen packet in Urdu”.
Replying to the question, the manager says that the food inside the packet is healthy, and asks the reporter to leave.
“You can do whatever ma’am, Haldiram’s will not entertain such tantrums,” the store manager tells the reporter with the mic and gibbering about “Urdu writing” and “betraying Hindus who fast during Navratri”.
Meanwhile, a debate has started on social media, below are the reactions.
Amazing restraint by the Haldiram staff. BTW, Sudarshan’s ‘sherni’ should know that it’s Arabic and not Urdu. Haldiram exports to muliple Muslim majority countries who buy Indian products without discrimination.pic.twitter.com/jic6ASOo15
