Remove Indri Whiskey from Costco
The Issue
I am a Costco lover. However, when my dad told me about them selling this Indri brand of whiskey we felt like we must do something! This isn't just any brand of spirits; it's a haunting symbol of a grave injustice that rocked India and shook many of us to our core. Manu Sharma, the owner of this whiskey brand, was convicted of the high-profile murder of Jessica Lal in 1999, a case that brought to light the disturbing truth of how power and money can manipulate justice and turn it into a mockery. Jessica Lal was a young bartender, full of life and dreams, whose only crime was to refuse a drink to a man who considered himself above the law. Her brutal murder and the subsequent trial exposed the deep-seated corruption within the Indian judicial system.
Despite being convicted of this heinous crime, Sharma managed to leverage his influence and wealth to eventually walk free, a fact that deeply wounds the collective conscience of those who believe in justice and equality. Indri Whiskey, now sold in global chains like Costco, becomes a brand that people unknowingly purchase, adding to the coffers of a man who once considered himself above the law—and succeeded.
This petition is not just about removing a whiskey brand from a supermarket shelf. It’s a plea for justice and a demand to honor the memory of Jessica Lal. Allowing products owned by individuals like Sharma to be sold across the world without even a hint of accountability lowers our moral standards and implies a passive acceptance of such outrageous behavior.
As consumers, we have the power to make choices that reflect our moral beliefs. By pressuring chains like Costco to stop selling Indri Whiskey, we send a strong message: financial success should never come at the cost of human dignity and justice. It's time we take a stand against brands that capitalized on blood money and challenge these high-profile men who believe their financial means can cleanse their past.
I urge you to join me in this campaign. Let us challenge retailers to reconsider their choices and eliminate Indri Whiskey from their shelves. It's essential to demand accountability and fight for a world where justice isn't a purchasable commodity, but a right for all. Please sign this petition and stand for justice regardless of wealth and power.
