Call for boycott of Chinese goods

Jalandhar, July 26

Amid a stand-off between China and India in Sikkim, a number of youngsters, along with members of the Deendayal Upadhyay Smriti, staged a protest against China here today. They called for the boycott of China-made goods in the city.

The protesters raised slogans against China at Sri Ram Chowk and made a bonfire of China-made goods. The protesters said they would persuade shopkeepers in the city not to sell China-made goods.

Kishan Lal Sharma, president, Deendayal Upadhyay Smriti, said, “China is giving aids to Pakistan and its troops intruded into the border on a number of occasions. It is condemnable. I appeal to all that China is keeping an eye on the Indian economy and is making a brisk business here so Indian citizens should boycott the Chinese goods and retaliate in the same way.”

“We want that no students should use the China-made stationery items. People should boycott the Chinese goods after seeing what is happening at the border,” added Sharma

The protestors said, “The China government is trying to threaten us with its military power. As citizens of India, it becomes our sole responsibility that we should not help the Chinese economy in growing.” — OC
