There was a time when US Fortune 500 Corporations couldn’t give two hoots about what an Indian Union Minister thinks.

The issue was Amazon Canada selling doormats with the Indian Flag on it
Indian High Commission in Canada : This is unacceptable. Please take this up with Amazon at the highest level. https://t.co/L4yI3gLk3h

Amazon must tender unconditional apology. They must withdraw all products insulting our national flag immediately. /1

If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian Visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the Visas issued earlier.
