External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has threatened stern action against Amazon if it doesnt withdraw products 'insulting' the Indian national flag.

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

'If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian Visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the Visas issued earlier,' Swaraj said in a series of tweets.

She was intimated on Twitter by a user that Amazon Canada is selling 'Indian Tricolour doormats'.

'@SushmaSwaraj Madam. Amazon Canada must be censured and warned not to sell India flag doormats. Please take action,' the user Atul Bhobe with handle @atulbhobe had tweeted with this picture.

To which the minister replied, Indian High Commission in Canada: This is unacceptable. Please take this up with Amazon at the highest level.
