New Delhi, Jan 13: Following the controversial episode of BBC's auto show 'Top Gear', British Prime Minister David Cameron has strongly refused to apologise for the same.

India had sought an apology for the said episode, where India was portrayed in a very poor light. In the episode, host Jeremy Clarkson allegedly mocked India, making offensive comments about India's trains, toilers and food. Cameron refused to apologize for the episode saying that it was an issue for the BBC team to deal with.

Also, a scene where Cameron waves at Clarkson asking him to 'stay away from India', was also including in the episode.

The 'Downing Street' has refused to censure host Jeremy Clarkson saying, "The Government is not responsible for editorial decisions made by the BBC or any media organisation. This is a matter for the BBC - I don't speak for the BBC."

The Indian High Commission has lodged a formal complaint branding Clarkson's comments as tasteless and lacking cultural sensitivity.
