Doormats with Krishna and Jesus images and Quran verses stir outrage, tweeples trend #BoycottAmazon

All through yesterday, the hashtag #BoycottAmazon trended on social media. The reason, you ask? The e-commerce major was found featuring sellers who offered doormats with images of Hindu gods, verses from the Quran, and images of Jesus Christ on its American portal.

The uproar started on Twitter and soon started to spread on all social media channels, as people showed their anger on Amazon authorities for allowing such products on its platform.

Reportedly, Amazon has taken notice of these products and has started to clear out these products from its site.

"We have escalated this to concerned team, for them to take appropriate action. The items you reference are no longer available for sale," said an Amazon India spokesperson.

The uproar has also led to many users uninstalling the Amazon app from their smartphones.
