He told news agency ANI, “ My suggestion is that restaurants and hotels that sell Chinese food should shut down. I also request those who eat Chinese food to stop eating them, boycott them."
Hello Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and all the other online merchants, if you are selling Chinese goods, kindly ensure that you put a disclaimer on them. As your customer, I would like to know the origin of the product that I am buying.#BoycottChineseProducts

After reading the tweet of ANI, "Restaurants selling Chinese food should be banned. I appeal to people to boycott Chinese food: Union Minister Ramdas Athawale”, the readers recalled his phenomenal trend against Coronavirus earlier in March.
In the aftermath of the violent face-off, many of the citizens have expressed their opinions about the ongoing situation. A large group of Twitter users used the hashtag #BoycottChineseProducts expressing severe anger.
Ramdas Athawale extended support to these hashtags, but he appealed the ban on something extremely famous in the Indian market. Athawale's demand for boycotting Chinese food did not result in making Twitter users happy. But his statement drew jokes and criticism on Twitter. While many of them were in support of what he stated, some said it was illogical; some gave hilarious reactions.
