New York: Indian-American community holds 'Boycott China' protest at Times Square

TOI.in / Jul 04, 2020, 16.46 PM IST

A large number of Indian-Americans chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and other patriotic slogans staged a protest against China at the iconic Times Square in New York, demanding an economic boycott and a diplomatic isolation of the country for its aggression against India. Indians living in New York and New Jersey states along with the officials of the diaspora organisation - Federation of Indian Associations - raised slogans of ‘Boycott Made in China', ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and ‘Stop Chinese Aggression' among others. The protesters, wearing face masks in view of the coronavirus pandemic, held placards that read ‘We salute our fallen heroes'. Members of the Tibetan and Taiwanese community also joined the protest and raised slogans against China and called for an economic boycott of the Communist giant. They also held placards that read ‘Tibet stands with India', ‘Stop Chinese Abuse', ‘Justice for human rights, minority religions, Hong Kong', ‘China out of Tibet', ‘China stop crimes against humanity' and ‘Boycott Chinese Products.' The protest titled ‘Boycott China' was organised on July 3 by community leaders Prem Bhandari and Jagdish Sewhani. The fact that so many people gathered in Times Square for the protest despite the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the strong show of support for India and against the Chinese aggression.
