Comments on Chinese products[edit]

Joy Banerjee urged people in June 2020 to abandon Chinese products and threatened that all those who proceed to do so "should be beaten up and their homes ransacked."[10] He also said, "A lesson should be taught to China. And this should start with a boycott of Chinese goods. We 're all supposed to boycott everything that is Chinese. Those who still use it should abstain from doing so. Otherwise, their legs should be broken and their home should be ransacked instantly".[11]
