Srinagar, Jul 31: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah lauded Zomato for shutting up bigotry after a customer sought non-Muslim rider to deliver his food.
“Respect. I love your app. Thank you for giving me a reason to admire the company behind it,” Mr Abdullah, who is the Vice President of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
Mr Abdullah was responding to a tweet by Founder of Zomato Deepinder Goyal who wrote, “We are proud of the idea of India – and the diversity of our esteemed customers and partners. We aren’t sorry to lose any business that comes in the way of our values.”
A man on Tuesday night tweeted about cancelling his order placed on Zomato as the designated rider was a ‘non Hindu’.
However, Zomato’s response to his complaint is winning the Internet. “Food doesn’t have a religion. It is a religion,” Zomato India wrote on its official twitter handle in response to the tweet of the man.
