Kuwait supermarket pulls Indian products as row grows over Prophet remarks

A Kuwaiti supermarket pulled Indian products from its shelves as a row grew over a BJP leader's remarks about the Prophet Mohammed, news agency AFP reported. 

Workers at the Al-Ardiya Co-Operative Society store piled Indian tea and other products into trolleys in a protest against comments denounced as “Islamophobic”.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other countries in the region, as well as the influential Al-Azhar University in Cairo, have condemned the remarks by a spokeswoman for the BJP, who has since been suspended.

At the supermarket just outside Kuwait City, sacks of rice and shelves of spices and chilies were covered with plastic sheets.
