Amazon removes Indian Flag dormats after Sushma Swaraj Warning

Following India's threat of blocking visa to any Amazon official if the company did not withdraw an Indian flag-themed doormat from its Canadian platform, the e-commerce website removed the article from the online marketplace on Thursday. A spokesman for Amazon based at its headquarters in Seattle contacted The Washington Post to say that the doormat was no longer for sale on its website.
