Tata Group and its former Chairman Ratan Tata were also dragged out in a tweet. The Tata Group and Starbucks Corporation together run outlets in India. That’s why it was written while tagging Ratan Tata in the tweets #boycottStarbucks
Most of the users have advised Starbucks not to create such ads.
Some people made memes and some people played the card of religion.
