The announcement of Future-Reliance deal in August 2020 had given us hope that our dues will be cleared soon, All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPD) and Public Response Against Helplessness and Action for Redressal (Prahar) said in the letter.

NEW DELHI: All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation has written to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos that he decided to play Narad to block the Reliance-Future deal. In a letter, the association said hundreds of their members and families are suffering on account of Amazon s unwarranted adventurism.
Around 6,000 members have dues of Rs 6,000 crore from Kishore Biyani s Future Group pending since March last year. The Reliance-Future deal in August had given hope of these dues being cleared soon. However, you decided to play Narad and blocked this deal by putting hurdles at every juncture, the association said.
Amazon, which is locked in a bitter legal battle with the Future Group over the sale of its assets to RIL, has alleged that the Future Group has violated an agreement that barred it from dealing with RIL.
