The freedom fighters have entrusted the responsibility of maintaining and strengthening the democracy-republic on the post-independence generations.

Chief Minister Kejriwal said that today it has been published in a reputed newspaper of the country that China has occupied some part of our country's land. It is a matter of concern for all Indians. Our soldiers are bravely fighting China on the border. It is the duty of every countryman to stand shoulder to shoulder with our soldiers in this fight. It is the duty of every countryman to boycott China and give a strong message.

In 2020, we bought goods worth $65 billion from China. In 2021, we bought goods worth $95 billion from China. China buys weapons with our own money and recruits soldiers in its army and stands against us, if the goods we are buying from China are produced in India then the countrymen will get employment.
