Netizens calling Zomato hypocrite after the religion controversy:
The popular food app Zomato had recently gone through a major religion controversy when, a customer posted about how they did not send the different religion delivery boy for him. Though his reason was quite weird for not taking orders from a Muslim guy some people can never change their mentality.
In spite of him posting all the company’s conversation and complains the company stood still on their stand and also tweeted that food has nothing to do with religion. Immediately their tweets went viral and many people praised them for not compromising with their values. However now, a lot of people are calling Zomato a hypocrite, since it had food tagged as halal on its app.Not only this they are giving one rating to the company on google play store.
They are saying that if Zomato has a problem with people demanding their food be cancelled on grounds of religion, why they didn’t raise the same hue and cry when people asked for “halal meat”.
Can @ZomatoIN tell me what’s wrong in fearing food delivered by a muslim in times when muslims jingoistically follow jihad to the extent of poisoning Hindu food?
& if food doesn’t have a religion why do you care to replace Halal meat with a non-Halal one?@ThePlacardGuy #Zomato pic.twitter.com/kBpyQMcBjB— Hindu hu main (@hindu_hu_main) July 31, 2019

After facing this backlash Zomato uploaded a detailed explanation for the critics. They said that the tag appeared on their site or app because people had asked for it before and that is how the website is programmed in order to make it user friendly for customers.
