In an appeal to 'boycott Chinese products' a group of people in Surat were seen destroying a TV to bits and pieces as border tensions escalate between India and China.
Watch the video below:
The video received hilarious reactions from the Twitterati as one user wrote: "Arey gadho, you have to boycott those Chinese products for which you haven't yet bought. It doesn't affect China if you burn their products which you've already paid for. It's your own loss."
"The toughest response to China by far from India has been from RWA," wrote another user.
Another user pointed out the fact that the video itself was edited, and or recorded using a Chinese company application. He said, "Love how this is edited in Power director. Made CyberLink, a Chinese company."
Here are some more reactions:
On Tuesday, the Indian Army stated that 20 jawans, including officers, were killed in the clash with the PLA troops on Monday night. "17 Indian troops who were critically injured in the line of duty at the standoff location and exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain have succumbed to their injuries, taking the total that were killed in action to 20," the statement read.
However, more Indian Army soldiers are "critically injured" and are undergoing treatment and that "casualties could increase", reported IANS.
Following the events at the border, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday assured that the sacrifice of the jawans in the violent face-off with the Chinese troops on Monday night in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh will not be in vain.
He added that India wants peace, however, it is capable to give a befitting reply if instigated.
"I would like to assure the nation that the sacrifice of our jawans will not be in vain. For us, the unity and sovereignty of the country is the most important...India wants peace but it is capable to give a befitting reply if instigated," ANI quoted PM Modi.
PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Chief Ministers of 15 states and union territories, who were present in the meeting via video-conferencing today, also observed a two-minute silence as a tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the violent face-off.
