‘Ban Chinese products’: Swadeshi Jagaran Manch Chief demands Central Govt Source: VSK-Karnataka      Bangalore December 15, 2012: Slamming the poor socio-economic policies and strategies of major political parties on FDI, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch (SJM)  has decided to launch nation-wide campaign on FDI and related issues. Speaking in an interactive programme at Bhavu Rao Deshpande Bhavan at Bangalore on Tuesday Dec-11, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch’s national organizing secretary Kashmiri Lal has said “Swadeshi Jagaran Manch has continuously opposed the FDI in retail. The entry of Wall Mart will be an economic invasion on India. The proposed FDI will definitely harm the middle and lower middle class economy and grossly the retail business sector. FDI neither benefit our economy nor will help Indians on job empowerment. Hence Swadeshi Jagaran Manch will oppose FDI issue, and demand the govt to withdraw its decision“. “Swadeshi Jagaran Manch will take 4 major issues to debate at national level. First, the FDI in retail and FDI in insurance etc. Second,to review the bill on Clinical trials in India, which treats human as guinea pigs, as an experimental tool through unethical and illegal practices. Third, an immediate discussion on 3 pending bill namely Bill on agricultural reforms, Bill on Land acquisition,   and The Seed Bill. Fourth, the environmental issues like increased pollution of major rivers including Ganga, the  improper dumping of e-waste has creating an environmental hazard, a proper and necessary measure to be taken in this regard”, said Kashmiri Lal. Kashmiri Lal also demanded  to ban all Chinese goods in India. He requested the citizens of India to use indigenous products for daily needs. “The concept of Swadeshi should be practiced by elders in  a family. Buy products made by Indian (Swadeshi) companies. Do not purchase products of  foreign companies” added Lal. Kashmiri Lal also demanded to the government to disclose  the inquiry report of India- China war of 1962. After the 1962 war, the Indian Army commissioned Lieutenant General Henderson Brooks and Brigadier P S Bhagat to study the debacle.
