Congress' Pawan Khera slams government over 'reducing' tariff under Trump's pressure
Pawan Khera slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government on Donald Trump's statement on India agreeing to 'reduce' tariffs and questioned whether the reported deal was signed «under pressure.»
Noting Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's visit to US, Pawan Khera questioned the «secrecy» behind the reported deal and asked why the Indians are getting to know about it through the US President.
«140 crore Indians are getting to know our own government's Trade Policy through the US President — Trump. Has the GOI taken a decision to cut Tariffs under pressure by PM Modi's close friend — Mr. Donald Trump? Has Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who is in the United States to apparently negotiate a Trade Deal, buckled under pressure and signed on the dotted line dictated by 'Howdy Modi's close compatriot Namaste Trump'?» Khera said in the statement.
«What does the fresh statement by the US President mean for India where he said that „India has agreed to cut their tariffs… way down now because somebody's finally exposing them for what they have done.“? Why is this 'deal' if any shrouded under a veil of secrecy?» he added.
Pawan Khera further questioned as to why India couldn't negotiate a pause on reciprocal tariffs when Mexico and Canada were able to do it.
