Amazon Faces Backlash For Selling Products With Tricolour Imprint

Amazon is facing backlash on micro-blogging site Twitter for selling products having the Indian National Flag imprinted on them.
With the Tricolour imprint products, including clothing, face masks, keychains, etc., available on the platform, several users took to Twitter to share their outrage for disrespecting Indian sentiments.

According to the official reports, many users share their disregard of this and flood their outrage on Twitter. Several users reported that the tech giant is selling shoes with Tricolour imprints on them. Few users also pointed out that using the flag on several products is against the flag code of India.

“The Flag shall not be used as a portion of a costume or uniform of any description. It shall not be embroidered or printed upon cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins or boxes,” as per the code. However, this is not the first time that the tech giant has faced such an allegation. Previously, Amazon’s US website marketed Indian Tricolour-themed shoes and metal hoops for shoelaces.
