NDA MPs Applaud Modi for U.S. Trade Agreement Amid Tense Parliamentary Session

Prime Minister Narendra Modi received accolades from NDA MPs for securing a trade deal with the U.S., which lowered tariffs in a gesture of goodwill. Parliament also saw heated discussions, particularly over Rahul Gandhi's remarks on China's border issues, sparking a day of interruptions.

In a significant diplomatic achievement, NDA Members of Parliament on Tuesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for successfully negotiating a trade agreement with the United States. The deal, announced by President Trump, reduces the reciprocal tariff from 25 percent to 18 percent, highlighting a gesture of friendship towards PM Modi.

The Parliamentary Party meeting, which formally welcomed BJP National President Nitin Nabin, saw attendance by high-profile leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Discussions continue on the motion of 'Thanks to the President's address' during the Budget Session, with key exchanges in both Houses.

A heated debate erupted in the Lok Sabha over Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's reference to an unpublished memoir by former Army Chief General MM Naravane, concerning India-China border tensions. The session, marked by interruptions, was adjourned multiple times as Speaker Om Birla ruled against the mention of unpublished content in debates.
