New Delhi: Advocate Divya Jyoti Singh has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking directions to the government to make a law compelling e-commerce websites to declare the country of origin of products.
Singh contends that by hiding country of origin, the websites keep a lot of imported Chinese products and "are not only playing with the patriotic feelings of the Indians but also are proving fatal in the efforts of every citizen of India in boycotting the Chinese products and also are blocking the way in promoting the local manufacturers/brands as called for by our Prime Minister so that the country becomes self reliant as is the need of the hour."
