Aam Aadmi Party’s convener, Arvind Kejriwal, has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “show some courage” by imposing a 75 per cent tariff on imports from the United States in retaliation to a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods.”We demand from the prime minister to show courage, the whole country is standing behind you. America has imposed 50 per cent tariff on exports from India. You impose 75 per cent tariff on imports coming from America, the country is ready to bear it. Just impose it. Then see if Trump bows down or not,” Kejriwal said at a press conference on Sunday.advertisementKejriwal also criticised the Narendra Modi government’s decision to exempt an 11 per cent duty on US cotton imports until December 31, 2025, warning that such a move would disadvantage local farmers while enriching American agriculturists.”When cotton from the US will arrive (in India), farmers here will get less than Rs 900 in the market. This is what is happening with the farmers – their (US) farmers are being made rich and the farmers of Gujarat are being made poor,” Kejriwal claimed.The AAP leader insisted that the Centre’s policy has left Indian cotton producers vulnerable during the October-November harvest period, with no viable market to sell their produce. He warned of potential suicides among farmers burdened by debts.”Now, farmers of our country have no way to sell their cotton. The farmer of our country has bought seeds and fertilisers by taking a loan, has paid money to (farm) labourers, now how will he repay the loan? He will have no option left except to commit suicide,” the AAP convener claimed.Kejriwal accused the central government of having “fallen on its knees” before President Donald Trump, and questioned why Modi “bowed down” instead of responding strongly to the US tariffs. He was also scheduled to attend the ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ in Gujarat.”The whole country is standing behind Modiji. He (Trump) imposed 50 per cent tariff, Modiji should have imposed 100 per cent tariff on cotton. Trump would have had to bow down. Trump is a coward, a timid person,” Kejriwal argued.In addition to the tariff demands, Kejriwal called for the re-imposition of the 11 per cent duty on US cotton imports, the establishment of a Minimum Support Price, and financial support for Indian farmers. He claimed that the US tariffs have not only affected the agricultural sector but also impacted diamond workers in India.The Centre previously justified the exemption on US cotton imports, stating that extending the import duty relief would bolster India’s export markets, particularly benefiting small and medium enterprises.”Under Trump’s pressure, our central government forced farmers of the country to commit suicide, by removing the 11 per cent duty,” he claimed.- Ends in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
