There has been a sharp reaction in social media on this incident. A user has written that these people have been sitting on dharna for six days. Does the top management of the company know about this? Is it being done at the behest of the Trinamool? The national anthem is our pride. How can someone be punished for singing this?

People on social media are appealing for boycott of Pantaloons. Some officials of the Kolkata branch of Pantaloons declined to comment on this.
