CAIT to hold protest in 300 cities against Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ India visit

The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) will stage protests across 300 cities including New Delhi on Wednesday against Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ India visit.

CAIT, which has 7 crore small traders as its members, has been alleging that e-commerce companies including Amazon and Flipkart are flouting the norms of the country’s FDI policy over the past two years.

Ahead of Bezos’ India visit, the Competition Commission of India has also ordered a probe in the business practices of e-commerce players on the petition of Delhi Vyapar Mahasangh, which is a member association of CAIT. It has asked its Director-General Investigations to submit the report on the probe in 60 days.
