This is our humble effort to build some more pressure for the poor guys family. We only want unilever and mindshare take full responsibility of the event and compensate the family not in any legal way but in a social way. If they have to stay here in Pakistan they should learn to be a socially responsible company and stop acting like corporate jerks.
We do hope that the poor family gets some life time sponsorships but here are some of the Unilever brands just in-case they do not listen to us and do not try to resolve the matter in a responsible way. We can start a boycott campagin of their products. If “Lays” can get a swear blow by the halal-harraam issue by its consumers then why not Unilever. After all these are us “consumers” the very reason why they are here. If we stop feeding them, they will have no choice but to listen to us.Hopefully it will be such a case which will bring a psitive revolution in MNC’s culture all over the world. Ameen!
Here is another strip on this issue.
This is amazing guys. I’ll be posting it on my blog too with link back to yours.
Umair.
I do hope that’s okay with you.
yep umair that’s fine. Just want to get the message across.
start an sms campaign
for what?
let the others knows what unilever had done
but how? that would be the question. Do you have a contact list where you can send sms messages? may be use choopal for it?
dats amazing!!
well, hopefully unilever listens to it or else we will be going on a full campagin involving each one of their products to aid the boycott process and help spread their real face to the public. unliver/mindshare, if you are listening, my money is not for you or products you promote.
I would not buy any of your or your promoted products ever again in my life if you did not listen to us and compensated the family in best possible social way. period.

Its a sad situation – I hope we can make a difference – RIP Saad
Insha Allah. We will try our level best to express the emotions of thousands of people who have responded to Saad’s death so far.
hopfully unilever will listen!
They will have to listen their consumers. That’s where they make their money and fill their filthy bellies (bullies).
We just need a little unity on this issue and we can make unilever/mindsahre listen to us for their own survival.
Good Work with the graphics!
RIP Saad !
farhaan, credit goes to you. it all started with your post. If we could get something done for the poor family over here, your contribution will never be forgotten.
Naa. Not me alone, I couldn’t have done anything without support of you guys. I think together we have proved that new media is better and efficient then the traditional mainstream media. I am proud of Pakistan’s netizens.
ان ملٹی نیشنل کمپنیوں کے استحصال کے خلاف آپکی کاوش لاءق تحسین ہے۔

Saw this at Pakistaniat.com and followed the link here. Good work, guys. Lets hope someone takes notice.
Yeah, Multinational Companies are going to eat up all poor countries……..
This is very true. We really need to think about it.
Nice initiative. If we boycott ’em, they’ll have no other choice and I am sure they will compensate (though they can’t) the loss of the poor guy’s family.
can I upload this graphic on the group Unilever and Mindshare! EXPLAIN on facebook? I would also request you guys to join us there. Lets hope we are able to take to task those responsible. Our efforts will ensure no more Saad Khans are lost in this way. AMEEN.
Owais, you can use this graphics anyway you want as long as it helps Saad khan’s family in any way I would be glad that I could have been of some assistance.
I am with you
Master piece, please make more ads to be shared on profiles as jpeg, i have noticed all sides / blogs talking about Saad Khan are being blocked on by one.
where did you get this news of saad khan being blocked by some one? can you please share? thanks!
While social media has created a great awareness for this sad incident, I am amazed at the role of traditional media who is keeping its cool and more than anyone, RBS Pakistan for whom Saad was serving. The disputed incident between the Nirala chairman and a mobilink engineer a few years back was brought to public with the sole efforts of mobilink employees. Alas, its not the case here.
Ahsan, can you recall if anything ever happened with nirala case on legal grounds? I think it was eventually the society which started taking them negatives and ultimately resulted in ditching them for gourmet?
I call on Government to ban Unilever in Pakistan and also call on people to boycott unilever .
PTA has blocked access to my blog for covering Saad Khan’s death. Please take up action against this.

This is very bad move on their part. Did they send you a notice or anything or decided this unanimously? Let’s see who comes next? I am seeing another Don’t block the blog movement here.
Why and how is Uniliver bad?
