After the tragic Galwan Valley Indo-China clash which cost the lives of 20 Indian Army soldiers, citizens are fuming with anger. Many are calling for the ban on Chinese products in India.
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale, who is famous for his slogan ‘Go Corona Go’ recently called for a ban on Chinese food, reports NDTV.
“My suggestion is that restaurants and hotels that sell Chinese food should be shut down. I also request those who eat Chinese food to stop eating them, boycott them,” he was quoted saying.
Addressing the Galwan Valley incident, the minister further added:
“In such a time when our 20 soldiers were killed by the Chinese and they disrespected us, my request is that everyone should stop eating Chinese food. All the states must give an order to ban Chinese restaurant and hotels.”

People on the internet immediately jumped to rescue their favourite ‘Gobhi Manchurian’ and highlighted how Chinese food in India is cooked by Indians and the restaurants are run by Indians. The money earned by Chinese restaurants and ‘thelas’ has nothing to do with China. In fact, Indians eat a desi version of Chinese food, not even the authentic one!

Exactly, Chiense food in India is not even 2%close to their taste what they cook there .. they don’t know what Manchurian is ðŸ¤..so calling for banning Chinese food in India would be asking for closing local business .

Indian Chinese food is bhaaji cooked in soya sauce. Sold by Indians.
