South Korean foreign minister calls up Jaishankar, says ‘regret the offence’

[INS_Vikrant]

Days after car-manufacturer Hyundai’s Pakistan offshoot tweeted about “remembering the sacrifices” of people in Kashmir and asked for people to stand in support as these people continued to “struggle for freedom”, South Korean Foreign minister Chung Eui-yong called up External Affairs minister S Jaishankar and “regretted the offence” caused to the people and Government of India by the social media post, Ministry of External Affairs said Tuesday

Once the situation was brought to our attention, we made the distributor acutely aware of the inappropriateness of the action. We have since taken measures to ensure the distributor, which misused the Hyundai brand identity, has removed the social media posts and we have put in place processes to prevent a future recurrence,” the company added.

Genuinely embarassing for Indians.

Spamming the twitter of the foreign minister of South Korea over a social media post from Pakistan is somehow a great victory for them. Hyundai will logically favour 1.5 billion customers over 200 million however any perception that Indians are a proud, tough, or even a pleasant people has completely vanished in the eyes of those watching.

Might is right - no one cares about being pleasant. This is another lesson to Pakistani elite. hindus are displaying their economic might and getting results. If Pakistani elite continues change the entire budget for 1 billion dollars of loan, country will end up no where.

We are fine as long as they realise their mistake and make necessary changes so that these kind of things don't happen in future.

Its the buying power of those 1.4 billion vs 200 million. In India Hyundai sells 500000 cars a year vs less than 8000 in Pakistan. Economics matter. Hyundai Pakistan went over its worth.

Mock them if you will but at least these Indian keyboard warriors possess the social capital to enforce international compliance with their country’s political sensitivities

Are the numbers correct for sales in Pakistan, because with those numbers Hyundai is selling 62.5 times more cars in India which has a population of 7 times more than Pakistan.

Actually if you include KIA which is a Hyundai subsidiary, Hyundai group sells over 700000 cars a year in India. They would sacrifice Pakistan market without an eye blink.

Hundai Pakistan supported a legitimate freedom struggle. That is honorable imo.

Why do India insist on keeping Kashmir? I have a impression that Indians ridicule Islam and muslims online. Then why so much money and effort to keep a muslim majority land under India control?

Or maybe i am wrong and most indians are not islamophobic. Are the online trolls only a loud minority?

Lol. Muslim majority land? India is secular. If it wasn't, why keep Muslims at all?

Over 40% living below the global poverty line of 3.25 USD a day, ranked 103 in the world hunger index despite producing agricultural surpluses (indicative of the actual purchasing power of Indians) and 10% accumulating most of the wealth of the state in their hands, then talking big on purchasing power.

We are fine as long as they realise their mistake and make necessary changes so that these kind of things don't happen in future.

Tell that to Russians as well who saved you from further humiliation (post-Galwan) only to humiliate you recently by having their state media make a documentary comparing Indian actions in IoJK with settler colonialism of Israel.

Dont know If you are Pakistani, but let me tell you something about indian fiendish plots.

They actually rejected all possible ways to keep south asia united (you can read about Cabinet mission) and in fact demanded partition. They demanded partition of two over all muslim majority provinces of Punjab and Bengal and made it clear that only muslim majority districts of these provinces should go to Pakistan.

But on Kashmir which was 80% muslim and specifically, the valley of Kashmir which is till today 95% muslim, they lay claim on it because now they say they are secular.

This secular card is for the west. Just to keep them quiet. They are amongst the most vile creatures to have walked planet earth.
