New Delhi: Careem Pakistan and India food supply chain Zomato were engaged in multiple banters on the social media site Twitter during and after the much anticipated India vs Pakistan match on Sunday at the MCG.

Fans who enjoyed the match were then served some friendly banter by the official Twitter handles of the two companies.

Ahead of the match, Careem Pakistan took a dig at the Indian fans in a tweet reply to one of the Zomato tweets and asked the fans if they were ready for their pre-Diwali gift pointing to the defeat it will face during the match.

“We hope you guys are ready for your pre-Diwali gift (read defeat)” Careem replied to Zomato’s tweet.

Zomato on Monday replied to Careem’s dig and asked them if they would like sweets or if they had filled their stomachs with tears after their team’s defeat handed by India in the match.

“Diwali ki hardik shubhkamnaye mithayi lenge ya aansuo se pet bhar liya?” Zomato replied.

In another tweet, Zomato took a dig at the Pakistan fans following their defeat and wrote “dear pakistan, ordered a defeat? virat your service”. (We are at your service).

Replying to the tweet, Careem Pakistan added “We don’t have cheat days” supporting a wild claim by the Pakistan fans that India cheated to win the match with controversial decisions from the umpires.

The former president said that this 19th edition of PITEX is being organised at a time when India is recognised as one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.

"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.

The former president congratulated the PHDCCI for hosting the 19th edition of PITEX and suggested that the chamber should expand PITEX outside Punjab.

He proposed that a similar event should also be held in New Delhi.
