Hindu Sena defaces Chinese Embassy sign in Delhi; 'China a traitor; India-China Bye Bye'

Amid growing anti-China sentiments in the nation, Hindu Sena has defaced the sign board outside the Chinese embassy in New Delhi. In the picture accessed by Republic TV, a man can be seen pasting a poster above the sign board of Chinese embassy saying: 'Cheen gaddar hai, Hindi Cheeni Bye Bye'. (China is a traitor, India China Bye bye).

This has taken place in the main diplomatic enclave of the national capital - Panchsheel Marg - and the India-China Bye Bye line is a parody of the Nehru-era 'Hindi-Cheeni Bhai Bhai' diplomacy.

After the clashes in the Galwan valley, a massive anti-China sentiment has swept the nation giving rise to campaigns calling for boycott of Chinese products. It started even before the clash when engineer turned education reformer Sonam Wangchuk urged Indians to boycott Chinese products and said — "Cheen ko Jawaab, Sena degi bullet se, Naagrik dengey wallet se (Answer to China will be given by soldiers with their bullets and citizens with their wallets)" amid its aggression and alleged complicity in masking the true nature and scope of the Coronavirus outbreak.
