Lord Jagannath’s Photo On KitKat Wrapper Sparks Online Outrage, Nestle India Says Packs Withdrawn

Nestle India, in 2021, revamped the wrapper of their product Kitkat and added images of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Mata Subhadra on it. However, it is just recently that the Kitkat wrapper (with picture of Lord Jagannath) came into the limelight, with the company facing backlash on social media.

A section of the people took to Twitter to complain against the revamped Kitkat wrapper and stated that this action hurts religious sentiment. According to a Twitter user, people dispose the wrapper after they are done with eating, that is why having pictures of Gods and Goddesses on it would mean demeaning them. Let's take a look at the tweet:

Another Twitter reiterated the thoughts and added "Kindly remove the pictures...they might even get stepped on unintentionally."
