Uber Eats hops on to food-religion controversy by showing support to Zomato

Food delivery company Zomato India had given a witty reply to a consumer asking for "Hindu delivery boy" and won praises from many while some people also had a different view in the matter. Another food delivery company and a major competitor of Zomato, Uber Eats has also jumped into the controversy by showing support to Zomato.

On Tuesday night, a man tweeted about canceling his order placed on Zomato as the designated rider was a "non-Hindu". "Just cancelled an order on @ZomatoIN they allocated a non hindu rider for my food they said they can't change rider and can't refund on cancellation I said you can't force me to take a delivery I don't want don't refund just cancel," Amit Shukla, a resident of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, tweeted. "Food doesn't have a religion. It is a religion," Zomato had tweeted in response to the customer's request for change of the rider.

Uber Eats India has retweeted the same tweet showing support to values of Zomato.

.@ZomatoIN, we stand by you. https://t.co/vzjF8RhYzi
