After the Hyundai incident turned into a matter of national integrity, the governments of India took serious note of the developments. Discussing the Hyundai incident with the South Korean government, India summoned Ambassador of South Korea and expressed displeasure over the unacceptable social media post about Kashmir. India sent a strong message against propagandists and noted that there would be no compromise in matter of India's territorial integrity. Soon, Hyundai not only ensured its Pakistan dealership removed the derogatory post, the car brand even issued an apology.

But Hyundai wasn't the only company that extended support for the so-called "Kashmir Solidarity Day" to express solidarity with terrorists and Kashmiri separatists. Many international brands shared messages on their Pakistani social media handles, triggering a wave of criticism and backlash in India. Not long after, a series of apologies started flowing due to the threat of facing a boycott from angry Indians.
