Amazon removes India flag doormats after visa threat
Amazon said Thursday it has withdrawn doormats featuring the Indian flag from sale after New Delhi called them "insulting" and threatened to expel the company's foreign workers. Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted late Wednesday that the mats, available only on Amazon's Canadian site, were an "unacceptable" insult to the national flag and demanded an apology. "We have removed the products from the website following the Indian demand," said a company spokeswoman who asked not to be named.
