NEW DELHI - An influential Hindu nationalist group and an Indian traders body called on Thursday for a boycott of Chinese goods, to slap Beijing for blocking a move to put a Pakistani militant leader on a U.N. terrorist list following a suicide attack last month.
The Confederation of All India Traders , which represents 70 million traders, said it would burn Chinese goods on March 19 to “teach a lesson” to China. But China a placed a “technical hold” on the proposal, saying it needed more time to consider, using the same stalling tactic it has used in the past.
He also wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi recommending that India hit Beijing with higher tariffs. India’s trade ministry said in an email the country can’t take any unilateral punitive action against a fellow member of the World Trade Organization. “Weak Modi is scared of Xi. Not a word comes out of his mouth when China acts against India,” Congress President Rahul Gandhi said on Twitter, referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
