Gandhi image on beer cans in Russia, Putin urged to interfere

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 17 (UNI) The use of Mahatma Gandhi’s image on beer cans and bottles by a Russian-based 'Rewort Brewery' has courted controversy as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Ambassador in India Denis Alipov have been urged to take up the matter with the liquor manufacturer.
In a letter to the Russian authorities, Eby J Jos, Chairman of Mahatma Gandhi National Foundation, has termed the act of Rewort Brewery using a photo and signature of Mahatma Gandhi to sell their products as disrespectful, insulting and improper conduct from the company side.
Demanding immediate steps to remove Gandhi's derogatory images from liquor bottles and websites, he said "As a man who had taken a sringe stand against alcohol, Mahatma Gandhi's name and image on beer bottles is certainly inappropriate and downright deplorable. Its advertisements are still displayed in your country."
