Rewa (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has appealed to people to adopt Swadeshi products while boycotting Chinese goods to break the neighbouring country economically.
"India's gallant defence forces shall give a fitting response to China. I urge to my brothers and sisters to demolish China economically," said Singh here while speaking to the media.
He said the Army will surely give China a befitting response but it is the duty of every citizen to encourage and adopt swadeshi products as guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chouhan on Thursday had announced an ex-gratia of Rs 1 crore, a house/plot and a government job to one family member of Naik Deepak Kumar from Rewa, who lost his life in the face-off with China in Galwan valley.

At least 20 Indian Army personnel, including a Colonel rank officer, had lost their lives in the violent face-off in the Galwan valley area of Ladakh on June 15.
After 1975 this is the first violent incident on the India-China border in which casualties have taken place.
A large number of Indian and Chinese troops were engaged in an eyeball-to-eyeball situation in Galwan Valley for the last five weeks. India and China are engaged in a standoff at multiple points along the Line of Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh where the Chinese People's Liberation Army has amassed over 10,000 troops with its heavy artillery and armoured regiments on its side of the LAC.
The first standoff began on May 5th when Indian and Chinese soldiers clashed at Pangong Tso, which is a lake that extends from India to the Tibetan Autonomous Region, China, with the LAC passing through it.
