KFC faced online boycott in India after its Pakistan branch posted a message on Kashmir Solidarity Day. Netizens alleged that such a message showed disrespect for the territorial sovereignty of India. However, the MNC seems to be sliding back into India’s good books after the photo of a KFC outlet declaring “entire Kashmir, including PoK, is an integral part of India” has gone viral. The hashtag ‘KFC India’ trended on Twitter as social media users celebrated the clear stance by the outlet.
