This comes at the backdrop of violent face-off which broke out between the two countries in Galwan valley area leaving 20 Indian soldiers killed. The scuffle led to pan-India protests against China triggering an anti-China sentiment among Indian and calling for a boycott of Chinese products in the country.

Earlier, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) general secretary Praveen Khandelwal had reportedly called for the boycott of 3000 Chinese products. While speaking to ABP News, Khandelwal said that Indian brave hearts fought with courage for the sake of Indians. "If our brave soldiers can fight on the border, even 7 crore Indian traders can also break China’s strength."

We have alternatives for these 3000 products right here in India. If we can boycott these products then by December 2021, we can create a loss of Rs 1 lakh crore to China, he said.
