Hindus outraged over Burger King ad

Suhag Shukla, managing director and legal counsel of HAF, said a Spanish Hindu named Monica Pahilwani saw the ad in Fuengirola in Spain and alerted her organization.

"I was horrified to walk by a Burger King store in my neighborhood to discover an image of the same deity that I worship at my home altar, displayed so disrespectfully promoting a meat sandwich," Pahilwani, was quoted as saying in an HAF press release. "A multinational corporation with a global presence should be much more aware of religious and cultural sensitivities, and how truly repelling such an advertisement could be to Hindus."
