Beside the traders of Gujarat, the traders across the country felt cheated at the hands of Gujarat Government for shaking hands with a known law offender company. The CAIT will oppose such MOU and will take decision at a meeting of National Trade Leaders to be held on September 9th,2021. The conference will be attended by leafing trade leaders from all states for finalising strategy for a national campaign Halla Bol on E-Commerce .
CAIT National Vice President Mr. Amar Parwani & State President Mr. Jitendra Doshi while strongly criticising the Gujarat Government said that on the one hand the Union Government’s statutory bodies Competition Commission of India and Enforcement Directorate are conducting investigation against Amazon for indulging into anti-competitive practices and violation of e-commerce rules as also violation of FEMA whereas on the other hand the Gujarat Government is shaking hands with Amazon for boosting sales of its products through Amazon.
Mr. Parwani and Mr. Doshi said that this act of Gujarat Government is leading to make products of Gujarat captivate at the hands of Amazon. Does Gujarat Chief Minister knows the on ground operations of Amazon or before taking such a decision, has he gone through various charges levelled against Amazon. Has he consulted the Union Government before taking such a decision.
Mr. Parwani and Mr. Doshi said that Mr. Rupani has acted just like a ruler of a State shaking hands with East India Company which had sinister motives of making the country economic slave. It is highly regretted that the lawyers of the Central Government are exposing Amazon in various courts including Supreme Court but on the other hand the State Government of Gujarat is entering an MOU with Amazon.
Mr. Parwani and Mr. Doshi said that they will raise this issue with BJP President Mr. J.P.Nadda and Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and apprise them with the political consequences of this act of Gujarat Government.
