Earlier, Honda India also took to Twitter to issue an apology saying that it regretted any hurt caused to the sentiments of Indians.
“Honda is deeply committed to ensuring compliance with laws and sentiments of every country it operates in. Any hurt caused to this effect is regretted. As a part of its policy, it endeavours to ensure that, in any part of the world it is present, it avoids comment on race, politics, religion and social issues,” it said.
