Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj said on Twitter that visas of Amazon officials would be rescinded, after Amazon Canada was found to be selling doormats featuring the Indian flag.
“Amazon must tender unconditional apology. They must withdraw all products insulting our national flag immediately,” Sushma Swaraj tweeted, ”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 added.
Roughly four hours after Sushma Swaraj's tweets, the 'offensive' products were removed from Amazon's catalog with the product pages showing up a 'page not found' error, and the said products missing from search results as well. "The item is no longer for sale on the site," an Amazon representative told Gadgets 360.
