New Delhi : Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday took an indirect jibe at the US over the high 50 percent tariffs it imposed on India, and hinted that the move stemmed out of the Trump administration’s desperation and frustration, saying those who are afraid of India’s growth are resorting to such measures.
US President Donald Trump first levied 25 per cent base tariffs on Indian goods and then announced another 25 per cent duties over New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil, saying it was indirectly funding Moscow’s war in Ukraine. India termed the tariffs unfair, unjustified and unreasonable and stressed it wouldn’t bow down to any pressure. People in the world are afraid of what might happen to them if India grows stronger and of what their own position will be. That’s why tariffs have been imposed on Indian goods, he said.
The RSS chief also expressed confidence in India’s ability to provide solutions to global problems and guide the world towards progress. India is great, and that Indians must strive to be great as well. He said India is big, and it wants to grow bigger. Bhagwat highlighted India’s potential to address global challenges and guide the world towards a better future. India is capable of finding solutions to the world’s problems and showing the way forward.
Donald Trump announced 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on Indian imports, which came into effect on August 1. The US President raised it to a steep 50 per cent over India’s purchases of Russian oil, while accusing it of pumping in money into Russia’s war in Ukraine, warning of secondary sanctions if New Delhi did not budge.
