KARACHI: In a move to promote 'Goodwill Gesture', the owner of a franchise eatery in Pakistan is offering 'a free meal and a doughnut' since October 16 to all Indian visitors, in response to the rising extremism in India against Indian Muslims and visiting Pakistanis.
According to reports in local and foreign media, Iqbal Latif owner of 26 franchise outlets of the eatery across Pakistan, decided to offer free meals to any Indians visiting the country on a short-term visa, after reading news of a Pakistani family of six from Karachi who were forced to spend the night on the street following denial of accommodation by multiple hotels in Mumbai.
The promotional poster on the facade of all outlets illustrate the flags of both countries and give the message of ‘PEACE AMITY AND UNDERSTANDING…to promote harmony, peace, understanding, and love between two neighbours.’
The reports in media further said that Mr Latif felt compelled by the experience of the family among other recent incidents involving the Shiv Sena as well as mistreatment of Indian Muslims and visiting Pakistanis, and considered it vital for promoting love among the people of Pakistan and India.
According to reports, the response to the ‘Goodwill Gesture’ has been overwhelmingly positive with customers loving the idea and sales going up at most outlets since the offer.
