The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) writes a letter to Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi urging them to ban the sale of Pakistani flags and merchandise on E-commerce platforms.
As per the release, BC Bhartia, National President of Confederation of All India Traders, mentioned, “I write to express my deep concern over a matter that strikes at the very core of our national sentiment and sovereignty. It has come to light that Pakistani flags, logo-bearing mugs, and T-shirts are being openly sold on major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart. This disturbing situation unfolds even as our valiant armed forces are actively engaged in Operation Sindoor a mission of critical national importance against Pakistan.”

Apart from this, the release mentioned, “At a time when our soldiers are displaying unmatched courage and sacrifice to safeguard our nation, the sale of items representing a hostile nation is not only insensitive but also entirely unacceptable. Such actions by e-commerce platforms reflect a blatant disregard for the dignity of our armed forces, the sovereignty of India, and the emotions of every patriotic Indian citizen. This is not merely an oversight. It is a grave matter that risks undermining national unity and poses a potential threat to our internal harmony and security.”
Through this release, a request was made regarding the following actions: “Issuance of clear directives to all e-commerce platforms to prohibit the sale of any products that may compromise national security or insult public sentiment. The attached evidence highlights the seriousness and insensitivity of this issue. This is a matter of national honor, not commercial freedom. An immediate ban on the sale of Pakistani flags, logos, and all related merchandise across all e-commerce platforms operating in India. A thorough investigation into how such products were listed and permitted for sale.”
