NEW DELHI: After selling doormats with the Indian flag print, Amazon has landed in trouble again by selling slippers with Mahatma Gandhi's face printed on them.

In the wake of Mahatma Gandhi flip-flops being sold on Amazon website, the ministry of external affairs on Saturday said the company should respect Indian sensitiveness and sentiments.

Some Twitter users have tagged Swaraj in their tweets complaining that the beach sandals with Gandhi’s image were being sold on the Amazon US site.

The posting on the Amazon says, “CafePress - gandhi Flip Flops - Flip Flops, Funny Thong Sandles, Beach Sandles” with a listed price of $16.99.

Earlier this week, after she received a complaint about Amazon Canada selling doormats depicting Indian flag on its site, Swaraj reacted sharply and asked the e-retailer to withdraw the products and tender an unconditional apology, failing which no official of Amazon will be granted Indian visa and the ones issued earlier will also be rescinded.

Following the stern message, Amazon expressed regret for “offending” Indian sentiments and informed Swaraj about removal of the offensive product from its Canadian website.
