New Delhi: The hashtag #BoycottIndianProducts, launched by TeamPakZindabad on Twitter in the backdrop of abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir is now trending in India.

By 12 pm on Wednesday, August 28, the hashtag had over 50.9K tweets as people took to the microblogging site to share their views on the subject.

Expressing solidarity with Kashmiri brethren, a Twitter handle (@TeamPakZindabad) started the #BoycottIndianProducts campaign which soon gained traction as several tweets poured in echoing the call for boycotting Indian products.

“Boycott the Indian economy, products, channels, dramas & Indian content. Own & spread this campaign on social media. Use the #Boycottindianproducts. Expose the Indian state terrorism in IOK. Expose the real face of india to the world. Expose them they are terrorist nation,” tweeted a Muhammad Khan.

In response, Indians too took to Twitter and in no time the hashtag was trending in India with few tweets asking the neighbouring country to boycott water first as it comes from India…
