Congress Urges Modi to Counter Trump's Reciprocal Tariff Push

The Congress party criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence during Trump's reciprocal tariff push, urging the Indian government to oppose these measures, which they claim could harm India's economy. Congress leader Ajoy Kumar expressed concerns over potential economic ramifications and accused Trump of disrespecting India.

In a statement from the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced criticism for his perceived inaction during US President Donald Trump's advocacy for reciprocal tariffs, a move seen as detrimental to India's economy.

Congress leader Ajoy Kumar pointed out that Modi's silence during talks with Trump stood in stark contrast to the assertiveness shown by other world leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, who corrected Trump for his comments.

Kumar further accused the US President of disrespecting India, highlighting the potential negative impact on various Indian sectors if tariffs were removed, jeopardizing economic stability at a time when the market is already fragile.
