After taking e-commerce companies into mediation, court and government meetings, the CAIT called for national unrest against Flipkart, Amazon and other e-commerce companies to continue their month-long protests. .

CAIT (Confederation of All India Traders) claimed that both Flipkart and Amazon violate the government's Foreign Direct Investment Policy (FDI) rules and destroy the country's retail trade through predatory pricing and deep discounts. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, which described the new unrest as a "direct war", described that "traders in the country will not allow another company from East India to appear in the country."

CAIT also said it seems that e-commerce companies do not heed the warning from the Minister of Commerce from time to time, they do not respect Indian laws and policies, and therefore, continue with their business model on their portal. , Which clearly violate FDI policy.

Previously, the E-Commerce Council wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting his intervention in distortions and violation of the FDI policy by e-commerce companies. He also requested the appointment of the Prime Minister to further discuss these issues. However, he has not yet been able to get any official response from Modi.
