Why is Boycott CEAT TYRES trending?

BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde wrote a letter to Ceat Tyres' MD and CEO Anant Vardhan Goenka to take cognizance of the recent advertisement creating an "unrest among the Hindus", and expressed hope that the company will respect the "Hindu sentiment" in the future.

In the latest advertisement of Ceat Tyres, Aamir Khan is seen advising people not to burst crackers on the streets. BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde asked the company not to hurt the Hindu sentiments and also to address the problem of blocking roads in the name of Namaz and also about the noise pollution that is emitted from the mosques during Azan.

Mr. Hegde said, "Your company's recent advertisement in which Aamir Khan advising people, not to firecrackers on the streets is giving a very good message. Your concern to public issues needs applause. In this regard, I request you to address one more problem faced by people on roads, i.e., blocking roads in the name of Namaz on Fridays and other important festive days by Muslims."

Also in a letter dated October 14, Mr. Hegde said that nowadays, it is a very common site where Muslims block the road in the name of Namaz which causes traffic jams in the city due to which, vehicles like ambulances and fire brigades also get stuck.

Mr. Hegde expressed his hope that Ceat Tyres Ltd. will respect the Hindus sentiment in the future. He said, "Therefore, I kindly request you to take cognizance of this particular incident where your company's advertisement has created unrest among the Hindus."

MP from Uttara Kanada said, "loud noise is emitted from mics arranged on the top of mosques in our country when Azan is given."

He said, "That sound is beyond the permissible limits. On Fridays, it is prolonged for some more time. It is causing great inconvenience to people suffering from different ailments and taking rest, people working in different establishments and teachers teaching in classrooms. Actually, this list of sufferers is very long and only a few are mentioned here."

"As you are very keen and sensitive towards the problems faced by the general public and you also belong to the Hindu community, I am sure you can feel the discrimination done to the Hindus since centuries"

He further added that nowadays, a group of "Anti-Hindu actors" always hurt the sentiments of Hindus, whereas, they never try to expose the wrongdoings of their own community.

People are slamming Ceat Tyres on social media because of their ad and are calling them Anti-Hindu and Hinduphobic.
