NEW DELHI: Meta's India public policy head apologised on X to IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw over Mark Zuckerberg's remarks about India made in an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast and called the Meta boss's statement an "inadvertent error" after the minister schooled Zuckerberg about the result of India's 2024 national election.
"...Mark's observation that many incumbent parties were not re-elected in 2024 elections holds true for several countries, BUT not India. We would like to apologise for this inadvertent error. India remains an incredibly important country for @Meta and we look forward to being at the heart of its innovative future," Shivnath Thukral, vice president of public policy at Meta India, said on X in response to Vaishnaw's post that pointed out the BJP-led government was re-elected again in 2024 and asked Zuckerberg and Meta to "uphold facts and credibility".
