Let us tell you that before the 73rd Republic Day i.e. last week on the occasion of Republic Day, the company ran the sale (Amazon Republic Day Sale). Some users have accused this cell of selling such shoes and clothes, on which the Indian national flag was printed. When we did a cursory search on Tricolor on Amazon, we found many clothes that had the tricolor printed on them. We did not get tricolor shoes. We found in the search that some face masks were also in national flag, but they did not have Ashok Chakra on them.

what happened before

In 2019, Amazon was accused of selling toilet seat covers and doormats with images of Hindu deities. Even then the same Boycott campaign was going on. Earlier in 2017, Amazon's Canadian website was accused of selling doormats with the picture of the Indian tricolor. Then the Indian government raised this issue in front of the American and Canadian embassy. The government had instructed him to raise this matter in front of the senior leadership of Amazon.
