Charges against Amazon serious, can’t be ignored; what RSS says is irrelevant: Congress

A day after RSS-linked weekly “Panchjanya” dubbed Amazon as “East India Company 2.0”, the Congress on Monday said whatever the Sangh says is irrelevant as it does not say anything in national interest, but in the interest of the ruling BJP.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, however, said the allegations against the US e-commerce giant are serious and cannot be ignored.

“The issue of Amazon is a serious one and it merits everybody’s attention. The allegations against Amazon are very serious and they cannot be ignored,” he said.

Asked about the comments of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Khera said, “What the RSS says about Amazon is irrelevant because there is a duet going on between the RSS and the BJP.
