Chandigarh, April 6

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.
