Hello @Chaayos that is disgusting. Please tell us if that is your official stand, commented one other.
Here’s an organization in India, @Chaayos amplifying hate speech and genocidal dehumanising rhetoric in opposition to minorities.
Tweets are unhealthy and hopefully, somebody will get fired for it, however, please, this isn’t solidarity, that is cancel tradition and boycott tradition. And a lot many are into it nowadays.
Some even recommended the model to unfollow the page.
What did Chaayos say?
However, the corporation later clarified that the page was ‘inadvertently liked from its account’ and that this is not what the model represents.
There was an offensive tweet that was inadvertently liked from our account. Chaayos detests and denies any view mentioned in the said tweet. We apologise to everyone and to those who were impacted by it.
