Artists and workmen have asked the government to arrange for indigenous, low-cost products if a formal boycott of Chinese products was inevitable. “We are seeing people aggressively burning Chinese products and wanting a blanket boycott of all Chinese goods. The illuminations business in Chandernagore — a former French colony — was born when electrical lights were introduced in Jagadhatri Puja. In Hooghly, with the BJP’s Locket Chatterjee as MP, the party has held over a hundred protest rallies asking people to boycott Chinese products. That will take time, and, till then we need to use Chinese products,” said Goutam Chatterjee, BJP’s Hooghly president.
