Chinese crackers banned in Ujjain during Kartik fair
TNN | Updated: Oct 5, 2016,
UJJAIN: Ujjain municipal corporation (UMC) on Tuesday banned the sale of Chinese crackers and toys during Kartik Fair that sees footfall of over 4 lakh people in span of 25 days. The decision was taken at the general council meeting of the civic body.

During the meeting, the members decided that Kartik Fair would be organized from second week of November in the temple city. UMC chairman Sonu Gehlot said that shops selling Chinese products will not be allowed to operate during Kartik fair. He also announced plans to ban use of polythene bags in the city during the festival.

"The municipal corporation organises Kartik fair every year and shops have been allotted to the traders. We have included in the terms of agreement that the shopkeepers will not sell Chinese products or polythene bags," Gehlot told TOI.

Any trader found flouting the agreement will invite stringent action including cancellation of the shop allotment, the UMC chairman warned.

Kartik fair attracts large number of people from neighbouring districts including Shajapur, Agar, Dewas and Mandsaur. Traders from various states including Rajasthan and Delhi, reach Ujjain during the fair to sell the products.



The fair had slowly developed into a major platform for sale of products. During the Congress government, rebate on sales tax was also given to the traders. Of late, Chinese products had flooded the markets especially around Deepawali.


From fairy lights to crackers made in China, are sold in the markets at highly competitive prices giving tough competition to indigenous manufacturers.


The decision by the UMC has been lauded by Congress. "We welcome the decision to ban Chinese products," said UMC leader of opposition Rajendra Vashishtha, demanding that the terms of agreement with the traders should be implemented strictly.


Recently, in Indore, the directorate of revenue intelligence had seized Chinese crackers worth crores of rupees from containers at Pithampur in Dhar district.

GCCI passes resolution to boycott Chinese products
Ahmedabad, Oct 17 (PTI) Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) today passed a resolution to boycott Chinese products to protest China's "anti-India" policies.

The executive committee of GCCI today unanimously passed the resolution to boycott Chinese products, GCCI senior vice president Shailesh Patwari said.

The industry body called for a boycott of Chinese products saying that China continues to support Pakistan against India's interest, whether it is using veto to stall India's bid for a UN ban terrorist Masood Azhar or becoming a member of NSG.

"China has been acting against India's interests by constructing a dam on Brahmaputra river and repeatedly trying to cross the border," it said.

With this decision, the industry will boycott all kind of Chinese products, including ceramic products, tiles, clothes, chemical and pharmaceutical products, electronic items, mobile phones, lighting products, crackers, etc.

बॉयकॉट पर भड़का चीनी मीडिया, कहा- भारत के प्रॉडक्ट नहीं कर सकते मुकाबला

पेइचिंग
भारत में सोशल मीडिया पर की जा रही चीनी सामान के बहिष्कार की अपील पर चीन के सरकारी मीडिया ने सख्त प्रतिक्रिया दी है। चीनी मीडिया का कहना है कि भारत के प्रॉडक्ट किसी भी मामले में चीनी प्रॉडक्ट्स का मुकाबला नहीं कर सकते। चीन के सरकारी अखबार ग्लोबल टाइम्स में छपे एक आर्टिकल में लिखा गया है कि भारत केवल 'भौंक' सकता है और दोनों देशों के बढ़ते व्यापार घाटे पर कुछ नहीं कर सकता।

गौरतलब है कि चीन ने पाकिस्तान के आतंकवादियों को अंतरराष्ट्रीय आतंकवादी घोषित किए जाने के भारत के प्रयासों का विरोध किया है। चीन के इस विरोध से भारत के लोग खासे नाराज हुए जिसके बाद सोशल मीडिया पर चीनी सामान के बहिष्कार की अपील की जाने लगी। इस लेख में यह भी कहा गया है कि भारत के प्रधानमंत्री का 'मेक इन इंडिया' प्रॉजेक्ट पूरी तरह अव्यवहारिक है। अखबार ने चीनी कंपनियों को चेताते हुए लिखा है कि भारत में उनका निवेश आत्महत्या करने जैसा होगा और बेहतर होगा कि ऐसे देश में पैसा न लगाएं जहां के लोग भ्रष्ट हैं और कर्मचारी मेहनती नहीं हैं।

आर्टिकल में लिखा गया है, 'भारतीय में मीडिया और सोशल मीडिया में चीनी सामान के बॉयकॉट के बारे में काफी बातें की गई हैं लेकिन यह केवल लोगों की भावनाओं को भड़काने वाला है। वास्तव में, कई कारणों से भारतीय सामान चीनी सामानों का किसी भी तरह से मुकाबला ही नहीं कर सकते। सबसे बुरी बात तो यह है कि भारत में ऊपर से लेकर नीचे तक हर सरकारी विभाग में भयानक भ्रष्टाचार व्याप्त है।' इसमें कहा गया है कि भारत को अभी भी सड़कें और हाइवे बनाने हैं और यहां बिजली व पानी की भारी कमी है। अखबार ने भारत और अमेरिका की बढ़ती घनिष्टता पर भी तंज कसते हुए कहा है, 'अमेरिका किसी का दोस्त नहीं है। अमेरिका सिर्फ चीन को साधने के लिए भारत का इस्तेमाल कर रहा है क्योंकि अमेरिका चीन की तरक्की से और उसके ग्लोबल पावर बनने से चिड़ता है।'

ग्लोबल टाइम्स ने लिखा है, 'भारत के पास काफी पैसा है लेकिन यह कुछ नेताओं, अधिकारियों और कुछ पूजीवादियों के पास इकट्ठा हो गया है। यह सभी लोग देश में उपलब्ध धन को खर्च नहीं करना चाहते जो वास्तव में भारत के लोगों का ही है। भारत के यह एलीट लोग देश के बजाय खुद के लिए इस धन को खर्ज कर रहे हैं और पीएम मोदी की अव्यवहारिक 'मेक इन इंडिया' जैसी स्कीम से यह उम्मीद कर रहे हैं कि विदेशी कंपनियां आकर वहां निवेश करें।' अखबार ने चीनी कंपनियों को नसीहत देते हुए कहा है कि चीन की कंपनियों को भारत में दुकान खोलने के बजाय चीन में अपनी उत्पादन इकाइयां लगानी चाहिए। गौरतलब है कि स्मार्टफोन बनाने वाली दुनिया की तीसरी सबसे बड़ी कंपनी वावे ने पिछले महीने ही भारत में अपनी उत्पादन इकाई स्थापित की है।

Chinese goods sale dips up to 40% in Jaipur
Jaipur, Oct 21 (PTI) Campaigns calling for boycott of Chinese products have impacted sales of those items by up to 40 per cent here with many people preferring to buy India-made products only during their festive shopping.

In the wake of escalating tension between India and Pakistan after the Uri attack, activists have been running campaigns on roads and on social media platform to boycott products from 'Pakistan s friend' China.

A trade body has ascertained that there has been a 30-40 per cent impact on goods like decorative lights which records huge sales during Diwali, whereas a slight impact has also been felt on China-made electronic goods.

In an internal survey, we found that the sale of decorative Chinese lights and other similar products has declined by 30-40 per cent in recent days.

Demand of electronic items like LCDs and others made in China has also declined by 10-15 per cent while this impact is 2 per cent on mobile phones, Suresh Agrawal, president of Federation of Rajasthan Trade and Industry (FORTI), told PTI.

He said that FORTI has been conducting an internal survey for the past several days and members of the federation are giving their feedback on the demand and sale of Chinese products.

Consumption of Chinese products has come down in recent days. Be it decorative items or any other product, people are preferring Indian products over Chinese goods. Looking at the trend, traders are also avoiding placing orders for Chinese goods, Ajay Vijayvargiya, Secretary of Jaipur Vyapar Mahasangh, said.

Shyam Meena, a decorative light trader lfrom the walled city area, also acknowledged the decline in sale.

The sale is no doubt down this time. Most of the customers are demanding Indian lights. The impact of the call to boycott Chinese products is high.

"Last year, I ordered goods worth Rs 10 lakh approximately, but I have not ordered that much (this year), he said.

Large number of Chinese products ranging from idols, portraits of Hindu Gods and Goddesses to decorative lights which bear no indication of the product being manufactured in China are in the market at cheaper prices, yet people are showing awareness in purchasing the items, said Sandeep Gupta, an activist.

Gupta, a chartered accountant by profession, takes out a few hours every day to go to the streets and markets to call for the boycott of Chinese products.

Shaheedon ko de do Shradhanjali, China ke Samano ko do Tilanjali (Pay homage to the martyrs, boycott products from China) is the slogan written on a banner which he carries with him on a jeep.

Chinese products are sometimes very difficult to identify. The list of Chinese products is very long and people as well as traders will have to show awareness against them. The impact will be visible when the market of electronic goods will be affected, he said.

Gupta added that the young generation is quite aware on this issue.

Why should we buy Chinese products, a friend of Pakistan? We will buy Desi things, an engineering student, Bhaskar Verma, said.

Ram Rahim asks followers to boycott ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’


SIRSA: Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh on Saturday asked his followers to boycott director Karan Johar’s movie ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ that features Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.

Addressing a congregation on the dera campus, he said, “When Pakistani terrorists are attacking the army and citizens of India, why should we watch the movie in which a Pakistani actor has performed?” He added, “We don’t have lack of actors in India, so there is no need to cast Pakistani actors in our movies. Indian citizens who support Pakistani actors can’t be considered patriots.” He also appealed his followers to avoid using China-made products.
