दीपावली हमारी…तो सामान विदेशी क्यों ?
चीनी विदेशी वस्तुओं का बहिष्कार करें…और अपने भारतीय होने का फर्ज़ निभाएं॥
अब से सभी #स्वदेशीदिवाली मनाएं॥ pic.twitter.com/7LDh3aCHly

In another tweet, baba Ramdev urged the people to use Indian products and save the nation.

मेरा हो मन स्वदेशी,
मेरा हो तन स्वदेशी,
मर जाऊँ तो भी होवे
मेरा कफन स्वदेशी,
स्वदेशी अपनाओ , देश बचाओ।

Earlier in 2018, baba Ramdev had said that the people of Indian should teach China a lesson by boycotting their products. He had said that the neighbouring country does around Rs 20 lakh crore business with India and is more worried about the economic loss rather than war and political pressures.
