So Amazon Canada is selling Indian flag doormats and this has caught the attention of Sushma Swaraj, External Affairs minister.
She has now threatened that if Amazon doesn’t withdraw these products from its Canada website, she will not grant Indian visa to any Amazon official.
If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian Visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the Visas issued earlier.

Amazon must tender unconditional apology. They must withdraw all products insulting our national flag immediately. /1

Indian High Commission in Canada : This is unacceptable. Please take this up with Amazon at the highest level. https://t.co/L4yI3gLk3h

What’s your take on this issue? As an individual, Sushma Swaraj has the right to protest – but as an external affairs minister, can she really threaten to refuse Indian visa to Amazon officials over this issue?
