'Air Farz': Amul's tribute to IAF pilots gets mixed reactions on Twitter

Following the loss of CRPF troopers in the dastardly Pulwama attack, the Indian Air Force launched a covert operation to eliminate JeM terrorists lodged at camps in Balakot. The move, dubbed Surgical Strike 2.0, was appreciated by all and sundry in India. Politicians, celebrities, and netizens lauded the IAF for accomplishing the daunting task.

Not to be left behind, dairy product manufacturer Amul Cooperative also paid a tribute to the Balakot strike in their signature style. They came out with a cartoon that features the Amul girl saluting two fighter pilots in their combat gear, with a fighter jet in the background. The caption reads: “Air Farz”.

Just writing Abhinandan would have been enough though. Just an advice. My salute Aditya Chaturvedi (@aaditya1988) February 28, 2019

The design is not convincing.
No mention to SqLdr Abhinandan
And bad design of farz which i by mistake read as farzi.
