Union Minister Paswan issues directives to officials to not purchase “Made in China” goods
By MYBRANDBOOK
Supporting boycott of Chinese goods, Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Ram Vilas Paswan has issued directives to officials to refrain from purchasing anything ‘Made in China’ from its e-procurement platform Government’s e-marketplace or GeM
The directives were issued on the same day the Indian government blocked 59 Chinese apps including the popular TikTok, UC Browser, SHAREit, and Likee.
The notice also mentioned that Chinese goods should not be procured from any other source as well.
With immediate effect the notice will be applicable on all officials and departments including public sector units that come under the ministries led by the Union Minister for Consumer Affairs. These entities are Food Corporation of India and Central Warehousing Corporation.
The moves comes after the Confederation of All India Traders or CAIT, which represents 7 crore traders and nearly 40,000 trade associations in the country, demands to issue a notice on the same.
These moves are also a part of India’s policy measures targeting Chinese goods over a border standoff between India and China. The two countries have been locked in a dispute over the line of actual control (LAC) in a few sectors in Ladakh.
