Bengaluru, June 6, 2021: Karnataka minister Arvind Limbavali on Saturday said the state government will take legal action against Amazon Canada if it does not apologise to Kannadigas for promoting the sale of bikini with the Kannada flag. The state’s emblem is also imprinted on the bikini. This happens two days after the Google search engine showed Kannda as the ugliest language, drawing the ire of the state government and Karnataka people.

"We experienced an insult of Kannada by @Google recently. Even before the scars could heal, we find @amazonca using the colours of #Kannada flag and the Kannada icon on ladies’ clothes," Arvind Limbavali tweeted saying that multinational companies should be careful to not hurt the pride of the Kannadigas. "Multinational companies should stop such repeated insult of #Kannada. This is a matter of Kannadigas’ self-pride and we will not tolerate the rise in such incidents. @amazonca should, therefore, apologise to Kannadigas. Legal action will be taken immediately against @amazonca," the minister tweeted.
