US firm sorry to use Mahatma image |
A US company has apologized for using Mahatma Gandhi`s image on beer cans and bottle. A petition was filed in a Hyderabad court alleging the company had insulted the father of the nation following which the liquor company has apologised. The Connecticut-based New England Brewing Company claimed its intention was to pay homage and celebrate the apostle of peace and that Gandhi`s granddaughter and grandson have expressed their admiration for the label. The beer brand is called `Gandhi-Bot`, which the company says is an intensely hopped double India pale with a blend of three varieties of American Hops. Matt Westfall, head brewer and partner at the New England Brewing Company said the company apologises if the sentiments of Indian people have been hurt.
