Hyundai India promotes disintegration of Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India: Started blocking netizens after they question whether they endorse their Pakistani counterpart’s views on Kashmir
On Saturday (February 5), automobile manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company courted controversy after the firm’s Pakistani dealership called for the disintegration of the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India. And when Indian netizens asked Hyundai India to tweet in support of India and questioned whether they endorse the tweet of Hyundai Pakistan, Hyundai India started blocking those Indians on Twitter.
It all started when in a tweet, Hyundai Pakistan Official (@PakistanHyundai) wrote, “Let us remember the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brothers and stand in support as they continue to struggle for freedom.” The tweet was accompanied by a picture of a boat in Dal lake and the word ‘Kashmir’ juxtaposed with a barbed wire.
The Pakistani handle posted the contentious tweet, seeking for the secession of Indian territory, on the occasion of ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’. It is a national holiday that is observed annually on February 5 to show support to Islamic terrorists and Kashmiri separatists, operating from Indian soil.

A similar post was uploaded on the official Facebook handle of Hyundai Pakistan.

Indian netizens were miffed at the brazen interference in India’s geopolitical affairs and dissemination of Pakistani government propaganda by the South Korean automotive manufacturer. However, on questioning Hyundai India whether it endorsed the stand of Hyundai Pakistan, the firm responded by blocking the Indian netizens.
Twitter user (@kansaratva) wrote, “Hello, Hyundai, this is not going to help. Fire your team in India and that other country.” While tagging the official Hyundai Worldwide Twitter handle, he shared a screenshot of being blocked by the Indian dealership of the company. He was blocked after he had said that Hyundai India should put an ad for Akhand Bharat in response to Hyundai Pakistan’s post.

“One tweet being critical about Hynduai and they block me. Hyundai Global, thank you for showing how your system work. Only feedback allowed by your system time to say #BoycottHyundai”, wrote another user.
