An Israeli Beer Company preferred a caricature of Mahatma Gandhi for its marketing campaign. The bottle with the image of Gandhi was created jointly by the Malka Brewery and Negev Beers. It was included in a box set chosen to commemorate Israel's 71st Independence Day.
Kerala-based Mahatma Gandhi National Foundation chairman Eby J.Jose submitted written complaints to Indian PM Narendra Modi and his Israeli Counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu over the controversial caricature of Mahatma Gandhi. He opined that labeling the liquor bottle with Gandhi's name and image is highly objectionable.
The news went viral after an Indian working in Israel shared the video of beer bottle with Mahatma Gandhi image online. Mr.Jose told he was left stunned after seeing the image of Father Of The Nation on the liquor bottle. 'Gandhians all over the World got deeply hurt watching such things happen,' he said.
