 EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 24: Condemning China for its military aggression along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, the Traders Federation has announced boycott of all Chinese products.
Deepak Gupta said that the Government has started its process to eliminate Chinese goods as the Rs 9000 crore tender given to the Chinese firm by BSNL has been cancelled and the private players in the telecommunication industry have been instructed not to use the Chinese equipment. “There is a list of 450 broad categories of commodities, which have over 3,000 Chinese products. At present, India imports about Rs 5.25 lakh crore, i.e. $ 70 billion, worth of goods annually from China. We all now need to boycott Chinese goods to break their economy. We must unite ourselves to teach the lesson to China. It is time to show them the power of Indian wallet,” he said.
