New Delhi : Amul, a proud Indian brand, makes an ad advocating “make in India”, & minimizing use of Chinese products. A controversy started on Saturday morning after Twitter blocked Amul for few minutes for publishing a doodle against China.

‘Regarding controversy on Twitter on Amul’s Buttergirl topic ‘Exit the Dragon’… Our account was blocked on June 4. Following some protocols, it was reactivated. We’ve asked Twitter why account was blocked, but haven’t received formal reply yet’ said, RS Sodhi, Managing Director of the Dairy giant.

“On Saturday, some of our users told us that the Twitter page isn’t working. We attempted all procedures and later the page was restored. We have written to Twitter but have not received any reply as of now. We do not know why was this done. Amul Butter girl comments on all trending issue, it is like news. She tells you the mood of the nation. She does not even promote the Amul products, she comments on issues around the world and she has been doing it for so many years, we don’t know why would someone file a complaint against her,” Sodhi said.
