CCPA Issues Notices to E-commerce Giants Over Pakistani Flags Sale

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has taken a firm stance against the sale of Pakistani flags and merchandise on major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, and others. Notices have been issued demanding immediate removal of such listings to ensure compliance with Indian laws.

Operation Sindoor Sparks National Security Concerns

This action follows a letter from the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) to government ministers, highlighting the sale of Pakistani symbols as "deeply disturbing" during Operation Sindoor, a critical mission against terrorism. The operation, launched on 7 May, targeted terrorist locations in response to the Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives.

Public and Government Response

The CAIT's appeal underscores the heightened national security concerns and the need for solidarity with Indian armed forces. The government's swift response reflects the seriousness of the issue at a time of national importance.
