The cartoon that has hurt the sentiments of people.

The website in question has apologized publicly for the Lord Krishna cartoon that has social media angry now.

It said that it deeply regretted if the artwork has hurt the sentiments of anyone and has clarified that Myntra has nothing to do with it.

Myntra is the latest brand that has come under scrutiny

Earlier it was Malabar Gold and Diamonds which had to firefight it way out of a mess that its ex-employee created by posting forged pictures of a cake-cutting ceremony claiming the brand celebrated Pakistan Independence Day.

Here is how the brand has responded to a barrage of criticism that has nothing to do with it:

Despite the clarifications, the brand is still trying to explain that all this was done without its knowledge and it neither funded or made the cartoon. The problem could also be understood from the fact that its name has been used prominently while the website’s name was huddled in a corner which gave the wrong impression to the people.

Many were also angry at the lady being undressed in the cartoon which left a bad taste in the mouth of those who could have earlier endorsed the cartoon on the grounds of freedom of speech and expression.

It is to be seen what happens next now, but clearly, these are tough days for businesses.
