After Bollywood actor Swara Bhasker on Wednesday tweeted asking Zomato and its CEO Deepinder Goyal to stop advertising on ‘hate-espousing’ news channels such as Republic TV, netizens have threatened to boycott the food delivery major.
In a tweet, Bhasker claimed to be a regular customer of Zomato while stating that she is not comfortable with her money "even indirectly funding this kind of communal bigoted hate".
Bhasker posted this tweet while quoting a Twitter handle named "defund the hate" which shared a clip from Republic Bharat's debate on Love Jihad - while terming it as "hate speech".
Hey @zomatoin @zomato @deepigoyal I’m your regular customer.. do u plan to #DefundTheHate & pull your ads from hate espousing channels like @Republic_Bharat ? I’m not okay with my money even indirectly funding this kind of communal bigoted hate! Pls let your consumers know.. https://t.co/mMacP8IawZ

Zomato indulged Swara Bhasker's demand to stop advertising on Republic Bharat. And replied to her tweet; it said it doesn’t ‘endorse any content except its own’, but will look into it. This earned the ire of netizens, where a sizeable number of users began to call for Zomato’s boycott. Soon, they were deleting the app, cancelling their Zomato Gold memberships and leaving low ratings with poor reviews on Google Play and Apple app stores. Quite a few even posted videos of them ‘boycotting Zomato’.
So far, Zomato has not released any further statement about this issue.
