SJM calls for making 'Boycott Chinese Product' campaign a

Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) today called for making success its "Boycott Chinese product" campaign to promote home-made products during Diwali.
"We have been launching this campaign for last seven/eight years in view of huge trade imbalance between the two countries but the impact of our campaign was visible this year," Manoj Kumar Singh, a member of National Council of SJM, said.
Singh claimed that China earns around Rs 7000 to 8000 crore by selling its Diwali-oriented products such as fire-crackers, decorative lights, small idols of Goddess Laxmi, Ganesh and toys in India every year.
"Though we have been launching such campaign round the year for last seven/eight years but we intensify it during festival seasons particularly Diwali," Singh said adding that the objective was to promote home made products like earthen lamps, idols of god and goddess.

The dumping of imported products mostly from China has badly affected the poor artisans and almost rendered them jobless, Singh said.
Singh said SJM has launched thee week-long vigorous awareness campaign to promote domestic products ahead of Diwali festival in Jharkhand.
The campaign would not only generate employment but also help "Make in India" campaign a success while bridging the trade imbalance, he assured..
In the steel city of Jamshedpur, led by its leaders Bandeshankar Singh and J K M Raju, SJM staged street corner programmes against Chinese products across the city and burnt an effigy of Chinese product at Sakchi roundabout today.
