Products on the list include toys, fabrics, textiles, apparel, everyday items, kitchen items, furniture, hardware, footwear, handbags, luggage, electronics, cosmetics and gift items, electronics, watches, gems and jewellery, stationery, paper, household items, health products, auto parts, etc.

As per the report, the Traders’ body took cognisance of business persons’ “strong criticism” of aggression along the Ladakh border, adding that “China’s attitude is against the interests of the country (India).
CAIT has thus under the campaign ‘Indian Goods – Our Pride’ released a list covering more than 500 items to be boycotted from China, and instead Indian goods be used, it added.

In phase 1, the body has set a target to meet a shortfall of $13 billion (Rs 1 lakh crore approx.) in imports from China by December 2021.

Presently, annual imports from China amount to Rs 5.25 lakh crore ($70 billion), the body said. The first phase has focused on products that can be made in India, but price has been the deciding factor when importing.

CAIT National President BC Bhartia and National General Secretary Praveen Khandelwal told the publication:

“There is no need for special technology to manufacture these items. These goods can be easily manufactured in India and can replace Chinese imports. This will reduce India’s dependence on China for these goods.”

Bhartia and Khandelwal further clarified that goods that require particular technology are not included in the list “at the moment”.

“Currently, such items are kept out of the purview of boycott because, until the alternative of this type of technology is developed in India or is not manufactured by any friendly nation of India, there is no other way,” they noted.

The body is also likely to raise the matter with Commerce and Industry Minister also .

The Actor attended meeting had been organised by the JNU students’ union and the teachers’ association against the attack on students by masked men and women armed with lathis and iron rods on Sunday which resulted in more than twenty people getting injured and hospitalised.

Deepika, however, did not address the crowd. She stood by as former JNUSU president, Kanhaiya Kumar raised slogans and left just as current President Aishe Ghosh, who too was injured in the attack, began to speak.

Soon after news of Deepika making an appearance at JNU broke, social media was split into two sections.

On one hand, people lauded the actor for having taken a strong stance and condemning the attack on students.

Last month, when protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act resulted in violent clashes between the students at Jamia Milia Islamia and Delhi Police, most of Bollywood stood as mute spectators until they were practically coaxed to speak up.

This time around nevertheless, Bollywood has seen support pouring in from all corners as stars took to the streets to voice their dissent. In Mumbai, celebrities such as Anurag Kashyap, Swara Bhasker, Shweta Tripathi, Vishal Bharadwaj, Vishal Dadlani among others joined the protests at Carter Road.

Many have argued that Deepika would never have turned up at JNU had she not been in Delhi for Chhapaak promotions. Some even claimed that her appearance was a mere publicity stunt. But, even if that’s true, why is that a problem?
.
In the past few hours, Deepika has seen the very worst hatred on social media. “Anti-national”, “Urban Naxal”, “Pakistani” – these are just some of the things she’s been called.
