#BoycottPantaloons There are two complaints against Pantaloons

Firstly they are accused of firing employees for singing national anthem☹️
Secondly they are accused of being prejudiced against Bengali Staff

If both the allegations are true than no Indian should buy from them?

So singing National Anthem is immoral? What is happening under TMC's rule. What makes me more disheartened is that a lot of people are trying to picture it as marwari /hindi speaking vs bengali. Please Indians especially Hindus stay untied. #BoycottPantaloons https://t.co/RNQ04Px3in

I too have an issue with #Pantaloons . They ask customers if we want to donate money for charity at the time of billing. You are a big company, if you want to do some charity, do it from your end. Why to pester #customers and make them feel awkward??#BoycottPantaloons
