Big outrage after Hyundai Pakistan dealership tweets on ‘freedom for Kashmir’

[Lego20]

It is very clear, someone in Hyundai (and KFC, Kia etc) pakistan misused his/her privilege to post political messages on a company handle. Also given it happened concurrently through several company handles shows it was coordinated centrally (mostly ISI).

Again, this will have the cost on the regular Pakistani population. MNCs in Pakistan will now be more vigilant and safeguarding access to Pakistan employees. Similar to how the Pakistan passport has suffered due to the actions of its intelligence agency. But, we keep wondering what bit us and the world is out against us. The enemy is within.

 

[Kriketer]

About common sense department. Go on twotter and read what indians wrote.

Cancelling their hyundai amd getting a honda.

Haha heir nationalism is driving them absolute nuts. They are turning into a hilarious bunch under the fake dogma of "Maha" Bharat....let them cry. It's so mahan that they run away from it in the first beat. Wide spread hunger, poverty, corruption, population, hygiene, slums etc issues among the billion there and yet they will find nitty gritty stuff to cry over when their little Bharti feelings are hurt.

 

[Local.Dada]

Also another thing i would add to your common sense dept..

Indians went on pakistan hyundai fb page and made sure to do an angry react on every pakistan hyundai post...... Like that would make a difference

Did you even check your theories . Pakistan Hyundai Twitter has been made private the last few days. I tried to validate this news and all I saw was their account is made private. Not Indian Hyundai or their world Hyundai account but the Pakistan one.

Make whatever of that.

 

[cric_man]

Found this funny...
Poor Hyundai India catching flak...

Ummm. You are the one who went on to say that indians use common sense, when i showed you like 2-3 examples of how indians have reacted...

Whether pakistan hyundai is private or public, has nothing to do with the common sense point you made earlier

My point still stands. You don’t need common sense to post whatever you want under anonymity of social media.

However I would assume common sense kicks into play when you are handling your companies official account especially when your company has a global presence and you want to tweet a sensitive political topic.

Is this that complicated to understand.

I am a business graduate with a majors in marketing and pursuing a career in this... In the social media marketing area, different events are used by companies to promote themselves. Independance day, kashmir solidarity day etc.

The marketing of majority of these companies are handled by third part marketing companies. They make posts on their behalf which obviously get approved by the company aswell.

This has nothing to do with intelligence. Kashmir solidarity day is celebrated by the locals by doing marches and jalsas.... Thus companies and their marketers take advantage of these days and make posts amd engage users in them.... Isi is not related to it lol... I know the company that handles hyundai isb and dont worry they have no relations with the agencies.

Thus, dont get your panties twisted with conspiracies or your indian media

India celebrates vijay diwas as victory over pakistan day... Hopefully companies have common sense and dont have their names attach to such controversial and political sensitive topics according to this indian poster....

Wrong.....







Hey look even honda is involved

 

[cricketjoshila]

Yeah but the good farm bills got retracted

Well, i expect them to come back in a new avatar.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Naah. Terrorism is when you forcefully occupy a region for 70 years against the will of majority. If it's so yours and so "integral part of india" let's see you taking the army away So much for your land that you need a million aatanki to "hold" the place curfewing, kidnapping, raping, killing the innocent citizens. There are millions of Muslims in other parts of India then yet why you need such huge army in IOK? Don't give the same lame rhetoric answer, no one buys that. Free land looks like Azad Kashmir..been there a few times and barely ever saw any army there or in Baltistan

You can keep saying all this, but at the end of the day, uts pakistani organizations who are on the UN terror list for their terrorist activities in Kashmir.

When we have a neighbour that has attacked kashmir thrice to take it, we need the army to keep that neighbour out.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Hyundai has apologized.

KFC has.

KIA has.

Soko minister has expressed regret.

Seems all this has hurt the feelings of a few posters.

You guys love lying and making things up.

The reality is that Indians are insecure and smashing up their own products.

 

[offstump]

Indians live online and in the comments section. Also how thin skinned do you have to be to get so riled up about a tweet from a fast food franchise?

 

[NishanKonar]

Well India is just using its economic heft for foreign policy goals - similar to how China reacts when any company talks about Uyghurs or Tibet

Nothing right or wrong here. every nation will use its economic muscle in the future wherever they can. The way NBA groveled after China threatened sanctions is a lesson for countries like India. Every company will keep its future interests in mind. India is not as big as China but its still pretty big and growing pretty fast after the Covid turmoil

Some Pakistanis will call this reaction immature but given how Pakistan's govt maintains total silence on Uyghurs - I guess you understand where this reaction is coming from

It worked. So all good. It’s ok to once in a while show the strength in numbers. It will keep people in check before they try to act smart.

Lesson learnt for Pakistan corporates as well. Don’t mix personal political opinions with company’s goal.

I think we all learn from this. All good here.

I didn’t respond because it was a poor argument and I didn’t want to get confrontational.

You are comparing to what happened in Kashmir to 1971?

1971 war, Bangladesh was born, india claims it as a win, Pak accepts it as a failure. Everyone moved on

Kashmir issue: Pakistan claims it is still an ongoing sensitive issue even though technically Indian government have moved on after the abrogation of article 370 and 35A.

It those Pakistani accounts posted a similar thing after liberating Kashmir no one would care. In fact no one would care if they post such things on Pakistan day etc. didn’t Modi himself wish Imran Khan recently on Pakistan day?

I am dumbfounded by the fact that you think they are the same thing.

Why don’t you start a protest next time india celebrated 1971 as a win. Let’s see how that is taken.

As for lying and making things up, there are no lies or truths in international politics, only viewpoints.

India's 'viewpoints' have resulted in Narendra Modi being given red carpet welcomes in muslim countries.

Pakistan's 'viewpoints' have got it an esteemed presence in the FATF grey list and some of its nationals the tag of designated global terrorists.

You can keep your views and we'll keep ours. Thank you!

And yes, if you think Hyundai India and KFC India are 'Indian entities' that can act independent of their global controlling partners, you have no clue how international business works.

The same UN which says KASHMIR is DISPUTED territory. Ive advised you many years ago, its silly to use this argument when you dont accept UN's stance on Kashmir.

As for the OP.

Idiotic by those Indians protesting, only giving more publicity to the occupation in Kashmir.

Indians can boycott who they like, no sensible company will stop operating in Pakistan because of a 3rd world nation trying to hide their crimes against humanity.

 

[gani999]

.

Actually, I agree with you on that point. India should really not be protesting loudly like this. They should wield the quiet stick like some countries do, notably China. Once Hyundai and KFC find their Indian operations under threat due to some tweet by their Pakistani employees, they will come around and apologise anyway.

According to Joshilabhais UN China is not wielding anything in an occupied land, its belong to them. Its not an accurate comparison to Indian occupation of Kashmir.

There are free Kashmir slogans, flags of Kashmir flying around all sorts of shops with huge branding on them in Pakistan. Do Indians really believe KFC or others will stop operating in Pakistan because Indians are trying to hide their crimes? The companies will say sorry and move on thinking these people are nutters.

Going off on a tangent again. Not sure why you will bring Modi's red carpet in but whatever floats your boat.

They are Indian entities. Pure and simple. You clearly know jack about "international business" don't claim otherwise.

Kia and Hyundai have multiple Twitter ID's. Not one of them mentioned a peep.

KFC or others won't stop operating in Pakistan.
But their Indian operations (admittedly a lot bigger than their Pakistan operations) can be seriously jeopardised if the Indian government decides to take on them for this. And they will worry about this.

Hence the argument that international companies should keep out of local political sensitivities.

 

[LaLoco]

Indians neither will stop having KFC nor stop buying Hundai -- just a feel good attempt by Hindutva and appearance of flexing their muscles.

Most Indians who eat in KFC probaby dont care for Hindutva or Kashmir. They love a bit of colonels fried chicken recipe. They probably also love a beef burger or kebab too.

Now if a Vegan brand did this, I'd agree but there arent any big vegan brands. Perhaps Modi can start his own chain, ladyfingers on a bed of saffron lentils?

Today India is $ 3 trillion economy. By 2030 most likely they will become $10 trillion. Then they will make bigger names grovel

Its all about your size and heft. Which will increase with time. China has already reached that stage. India will reach in another 5-7 years

KFC , McDonalds , Subway or Pizza Hut do not serve any beef items in India. Its purely chicken / tuna / lamb + many veg options. So loads of vegetarian folks do go to these outlets

Plus 60% Indians are non vegetarian. 60% of 1.3 billion is pretty big number

Im sure there are many beef burgers joints in India.

KFC, Subway, Pizza hut are really known for beef items. McDonalds is, its a shame those who want the Big Mac cant get one in a secular nation.

My point was only the hardcore extremists will boycott any company because of some slogan in another country. Most will continue, unless you can show me a huge drop in Hyundai sales in the last week?

Proper shame considering India is the largest exporter of beef. Feed the world, not your own seems to be the mantra. Then again, fast food joints have quality control, maybe Indian cows do not meat (see what I did here?) the standard of quality?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pigs are actually more intelligent, more human like than a cow.

My point is those who like meat or any food brand will continue to dine in those outlets. Crying over what these brands do in Pakistan will make little to no difference to their profits in India. Even Hindutva hardliners are probably eating a nice steak in private.

All you are doing is giving publicity to the occupation in Kashmir.

 

[KingKhanWC]

They claim the beef is not from cows. But their stupidy shows because buffalo and cows are Bovines. Along with other animals in the same group, they are not much differnet at all. They all evolved from Aurochs. To eat one and not the other is like eating salmon but not tuna.

Great summation - eating salmon but not tuna. Seems like an inbedded cause for racism, in this case, discrimination based on species?

Well the biggest buyers of Indian (Buffalo) beef are Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, Egypt, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia and UAE. If they don't have a problem with India's quality standards then the Indians couldn't care less what anyone else thinks.

India exports buffalo meat, and not cow meat. It has more to do with availability and the fact that cows are more valuable from a dairy industry standpoint, Cows produce more milk of greater fat content than do buffaloes.
As far as devout hindus are concerned, the meats of both cows and buffaloes are equally banned from consumption from a religious standpoint, so I don't see what your point is.

And as for your argument on evolution, Camels and pigs share the same ancestral lineage, so I take it that muslims in Arab states where camels are a delicacy are committing haraam?

Beef is widely available in India in most major cities. But international chains like KFC, McDonalds, Subway, Dominos do not serve any beef items in India - due to local sensibilities. If they serve beef items - big chunk of local population ( Hindus / Sikhs ) will stay away from such outlets due to religious reasons. Business is about profits and revenue - not about secularism or politics. KFC does not serve the American style chicken in India - bcoz its too bland for Indian tastes. So they make very spicy version

In a way you are correct. Very few people will actually boycott KFC due to the tweet. But the issue is more about diplomacy and foreign policy. Which is very critical in this era of social media

In future Burger King or Pizza Hut will put clauses in its contracts with Pakistani franchises mandating heavy fines for such acts in the company name. Which will only hurt the Pakistani owner

I mean Hyundai sells 500k cars in India and just 8k in Pakistan. It wont matter to Hyundai if they wind up business in Pakistan in case things keep happening like this. They will lose just about 1 week of India's business if they close operations in Pakistan. They will be more concerned about safeguarding their Indian market. That will only hurt Pakistan and lead to some job losses

The most you can do is tie up bunch of ghaas poos on top of your foreign based cars and summon your local businesses as a protest ...like that's a next level joke lol.

Funny how none of Indians are replying to Major's share of Indian branch of international companies supporting war and armed events, and yet none of Pakistani behaved like you whining lot for those shares. It's because we couldn't care less and are a mature nation.

[MenInG]

NEW DELHI: Global automaker Toyota Motor and fast food chain Domino’s Pizza are among half a dozen companies that have apologised to India for social media posts from their Pakistani partners expressing support for held Kashmir, as more companies got caught up in the diplomatic fracas.

The apology comes after a rare diplomatic escalation between South Korea and India on Tuesday over social media posts by Hyundai Motors’ Pakistani partner, which caused an uproar in India and calls to boycott the carmaker.

Japan’s Suzuki Motor, majority owner of India’s biggest carmaker Maruti Suzuki, Honda Motor and Isuzu Motor, South Korea’s Kia Motors and Yum! Brands’ KFC also issued apologies as criticism grew on Twitter over the social media posts.

The affray highlights the risks global companies face while navigating sensitivities amid rising nationalism in South Asia, and is prompting them to take steps to strengthen their social media policies to protect their brand.

The row erupted on Sunday, a day after several companies posted messages on social media to mark Kashmir Solidarity Day, commemorated annually by Pakistan on Feb 5 to honour the sacrifices of Kashmiris struggling for self-determination. Toyota, the world’s biggest carmaker, said on Twitter that any political statements made by its dealers or other partners were not authorised and do not reflect its corporate stance.

“We regret any hurt this may have caused,” the company said, adding it was putting in place measures to prevent the misuse of its brand and a recurrence of such situations.

Suzuki issued a similar apology, adding it does not align with any political or religious groups.

Hyundai, India’s second-largest car seller, faced the most severe backlash with hundreds of social media users calling for an apology. Dozens in India also said they would cancel their car orders. The automaker apologised on Tuesday, saying it deeply regretted any offence caused to Indians.

Yet, dozens of members of the youth wing of India’s opposition Congress party gathered outside one of Hyundai’s showrooms in the western city of Ahmedabad in protest.

Some held banners saying “Boycott Hyundai” and demanded the company tweet that Kashmir is an integral part of India.

“We are protesting against Hyundai’s comments on Kashmir, its attempts to disturb the peace in India and for the sacrifice our soldiers have made to protect Kashmir and the nation,” said Gaurang Makvana, a member of the youth Congress.

Haha no one has apologized other than your so called Indian business outlets. It's a solidarity day for us and we celebrate it each year and don't care what people of your third world country think. The most you can do is tie up bunch of ghaas poos on top of your foreign based cars and summon your local businesses as a protest ...like that's a next level joke lol.

Funny how none of Indians are replying to Major's share of Indian branch of international companies supporting war and armed events, and yet none of Pakistani behaved like you whining lot for those shares. It's because we couldn't care less and are a mature nation. You folks are extremely delusional and snowflakes....keep crying as it only showcases how intolerant and whining babies you lot are turning into.

You can post a few pics on social media while the Indian flag flies over SriNagar.

Who will upset the Indian market by listening to Pakistan? One must realise their position.

The SoKo foreign minister called to express regret. All the companies used their official social media to express regret.

Regret )

KFC hasnt lost huge amount of profits because most Indians dont care and will continue to there. Only the Hindu extremists are raging as usual, which is my point.

KFC issued a regret immediately. I will laugh at your opinion about what most Indians do or think.

No nation is honestly as insecure as Indians are in general. Something like this would have been a non-event for other countries.

I didn’t respond because it was a poor argument and I didn’t want to get confrontational.

You are comparing to what happened in Kashmir to 1971?

1971 war, Bangladesh was born, india claims it as a win, Pak accepts it as a failure. Everyone moved on

Kashmir issue: Pakistan claims it is still an ongoing sensitive issue even though technically Indian government have moved on after the abrogation of article 370 and 35A.

It those Pakistani accounts posted a similar thing after liberating Kashmir no one would care. In fact no one would care if they post such things on Pakistan day etc. didn’t Modi himself wish Imran Khan recently on Pakistan day?

I am dumbfounded by the fact that you think they are the same thing.

Why don’t you start a protest next time india celebrated 1971 as a win. Let’s see how that is taken.

Your argument is pretty much your own opinion. The two cases don't have to be identical. There is enough similarity there to call it out as hypocritical. I mean, the fact that they tweets call out Indian military involvement says it all to make it similar enough. 1947 would actually be incomparable because there was no military involvement, it was an agreed upon split between Britain, India and Pakistan.

Stay on topic

No need to discuss 1971 etc

Hard for you to digest thst companies value the Indian market more than the pakistani one. Poor you.

What is your point? Companies value US market more than Canadian, Australian or UK market. What does that say about Canada, Australia, UK? Any power India is able to derive is because of its population. Your claim is meaningless.

In any case, did the apology come from KFC India or global corporate KFC? Because every time you have mentioned an apology this far, it has come from Indian subsidiary of those companies.

 

[Technics 1210]

You got to love it. Hindutva apologists demand the world to stay out of their business yet India relies on foreign investment (which without India is nothing given near zero of manufactured goods), and when foreign companies make a comment this is not aligned with Hindutva, they throw a hissy fit.

The world is learning the art of triggering India.

Whatever apology by whomever is for only Indian domestic conception to give false sense of superiority in the region and over a country that is the size of 1/6 of India.

The rest of the world do not care nor any Pakistani do - most of us just here to highlight how some of the Indians reduced themselves to be perpetual petty and ridiculous.

But i guess it help them to sleep at night

Correct.

If India is ‘Incredible’ then Indians would not be desperate to flock and flee India, in their droves.

Perception is reality hence the oropaganda machine is strong in India, yet reality is something else. This is why the majority of Indians posting actually live outside of India. Stockholm syndrome.
