MTV India seeks support for ‘biryani emoticon’

MTV India is seeking justice for biryani!! The leading youth and music channel, owned by Viacom18, has begun a petition on change.org to rally people to get an emoticon for biryani, a ‘privilege’ that dishes like pizza, taco or burger currently enjoy.

The petition, which was filed last week, has garnered more than 1,550 signatures and counting. #biryaniemoticon has also gained traction on social media sites. The youth brand also organised a march for the cause in Delhi on Monday which saw the participation of about 600 students.

In the tongue-in-cheek petition, MTV India called out for ‘justice for biryani’, stating, “To all biryani lovers across the globe, I am biryani. And I have been wronged.”
