SJM to organise rally for boycott of Chinese goods

The RSS' economic wing Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) will organise a mega rally next month to conclude its campaign for boycott of Chinese goods.
"China is responding to India's principle of Panchsheel by adopting a policy to cripple our economic, environment, employment and humanity fabric," SJM's all-India organiser Kashmiri Lal said here.
The Sangh affiliate said it had launched Rashtriya Swadeshi Suraksha Abhiyan earlier this year to make people aware of China's "nefarious designs".
Over one crore people had given their undertaking in writing to boycott Chinese goods and a memorandum addressed to the prime minister was also submitted to district magistrates in 500 districts of the country, he said.

Stating that the campaign has the support of people from different walks of life including yoga guru Ramdev, governors, MPs, and industrialists, Lal claimed that it is their efforts which resulted in imposing anti-dumping duty on a number of Chinese goods.
The Abhiyan would conclude on October 29 at Ram Lila Ground here with a huge rally. A large number of important people from different walks of life will attend the rally, he said.
Expressing concern over unhindered import of Chinese goods, which are causing huge damage to Indian economy, SJM's co-convener Ashwani Mahajan said small scale units are shutting down and job opportunities are shrinking due to cheaper imports from China.

Despite earning at least Rs 72,000 crore from trade with India, China had been creating problems for India on global platforms -- from blocking India's entry into the NSG to Dokalam crisis and other border issues, Mahajan claimed.
