Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists on 22 August ransacked an office of Amazon India in Nagpur, protesting against the sale of Pakistani flags and a book which allegedly hurts religious sentiments of Hindus on the e-commerce platform, reported news agency PTI.
As per details, a group of men barged into the firm’s office in Ganeshpeth area and ransacked it around 12.30 pm.
Local MNS leaders Chandu Lade and Vishal Badge in the letter — addressed to Amazon India Limited — claimed that Pakistani flags were available for sale on its website. They added that uch objects are used by those engaged in anti-national activities.
Apart from this, the party workers even claimed that the website sells a book titled ‘Deadly Bhagavat Geeta’ which ‘denigrates’ the Bhagavad Gita and sought its removal from the platform.
