New Delhi (India), May 28 (ANI): The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has filed an objection petition in Competition Commission of India (CCI) against Walmart-Flipkart deal.
In the petition, CAIT has said that Walmart is world's largest retailer and will create an unfair competition and uneven level playing field.
