Zomato employees burn official t-shirts to protest against bloody face off at Ladakh
Kolkata/IBNS: Some Zomato employees in the city on Saturday tore and burnt their official t-shirts to protest against the killing of 20 Indian soldiers by the Chinese army during a bloody face off at LAC in Ladakh's Galwan Valley two weeks ago, media reports said.
A number of them claimed that they had left their jobs with Zomata as the company has a sizable Chinese investment and appealed to the people not to order food from the platform.
Apart from the recent USD 150 million, the food ordering platform had received an investment of USD 210 million in 2018 for a 14.7 per cent stake.
The agitating employees, who had put up the protest at Behala in the southern part of the city, said China was making profits in India and attacking the Indian Army at the border and grabbing the country's land which could not be accepted, said reports.
Some of them even said that they were ready to starve but not work in a company which has Chinese involvement.
Reports did not conform if the protesting employees were among the 520 employees Zomato had retrenched due to the novel coronavirus induced lockdown.
