New Delhi: Patanjali Ayurved founder Baba Ramdev has slammed multinational corporations after an advertisement from FMCG major Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) allegedly ridiculed Indian culture.

Hitting out at the company on Twitter on Friday, the yoga guru-turned-entrepreneur also called for a boycott of HUL products.

  • मेरा MNCs से सीधा प्रश्न है कि ये बताएं इनका भारत के आर्थिक और सांस्कृतिक विकास में क्या योगदान है?
    इनकी औकात क्या है? कि ये भारत की गौरवशाली संस्कृति के बारे में औछी टिप्पणी करें?
    क्या इनके लिए भारत सिर्फ बस एक लूट के लिए बाजार है? #BoycottHindustanUnilever #BoycottHULproducts pic.twitter.com/10SD7XymH6

"What is the contribution of MNCs to India's economic and cultural development?" Ramdev asked.

"What is the stature (aukaat) of these MNCs to be making unsavoury comments on India's glorious cultural heritage? Is India, for them, merely a market to be plundered?" he said in a tweet in Hindi which had the #BoycottHindustanUnilever #BoycottHULproducts tags.

  • जो हमने @HUL_News की कुम्भ मेले की Advt में देखा है- इनके लिए देश एक बाजार है, हमारे लिये देश एक परिवार है lआज भी करीब 50 लाख करोड़ की अर्थव्यवस्था परइन विदेशी कम्पनियों का कब्ज़ा है, हमे संकल्प ले कर के,इन विदेशी कम्पनियों को अंग्रेजो की तरह भगाना होगा #BoycottHindustanUnilever pic.twitter.com/o3cDUcziDk

The HUL advertisement for the "Red Label" brand depicted a man abandoning his father at the Kumbh Mela. But the man realised his mistake after seeing a father caring for his young son and returned to meet his father who was waiting with two cups of tea.

The ad was criticised heavily on social media, but HUL in a tweet said that the "@RedLabelChai encourages us to hold the hands of those who made us who we are."
