Sushma Swaraj asks Amazon to apologise: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has criticised online retail giant Amazon for selling doormats on its Canadian website featuring the Indian flag. Sushma warned Amazon to remove all the products insulting the Tricolor, otherwise, no official from Amazon will get an Indian Visa.

Sushma Swaraj took a tweet on twitter saying Amazon should issue an “unconditional apology” and withdraw the insulting products.

“If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian Visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the Visas issued earlier,” she said.
