BJP raises objection over ad featuring Pakistani, Indian soldiers
Calls for creator, writer and director of ad to be tried for treason
NEW DELHI:
India’s Bharatiya Janata Party raised an objection in Lok Sabha against a light-hearted advertisement, featuring Indian and Pakistan soldier at the Wagah Border.
In the latest Indian-made ad for Pidilite FeviKwik glue, an Indian soldier glues the sole of a Pakistani soldier’s shoe when it tears during a routine salute.
BJP’s Ujjain MP Chintamani Malviya termed the ad anti-national and an insult to the soldiers of India.
The MP said Pidilite had insulted the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers who laid down their life in various wars against Pakistan.
"I request the government that the creator, writer and director of this ad be tried for treason," Malviya said.
