AKuwaiti supermarket pulled Indian products from its shelves as a row grew on Monday over remarks about Islamic Prophet Mohammed by a BJP spokeswoman, who has since been suspended.
At Al-Ardiya Co-Operative Society store, sacks of rice and shelves of spices and chilies were covered with plastic sheets. Printed signs in Arabic read: “We have removed Indian products”.
“We, as a Kuwaiti Muslim people, do not accept insulting the Prophet,” said Nasser Al-Mutairi, CEO of the store.
