Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi moves adjournment motion in Lok Sabha over U.S. tariffs on Indian exports
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Thursday moved an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha, seeking an immediate discussion on the United States’ decision to impose retaliatory tariffs on Indian exports.
Mr. Gogoi, in his notice to the Lok Sabha Secretary-General, emphasised the “urgent and pressing” need to debate the economic ramifications of these tariffs. He warned that the increased tariffs would severely impact price-sensitive sectors such as textiles, jewelry, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, reducing their competitiveness in the American market.
“It is concerning that despite multiple rounds of trade discussions, an amicable resolution has not yet been reached. The government must take urgent diplomatic and trade countermeasures to safeguard the interests of Indian exporters and workers dependent on these industries,” Mr. Gogoi stated in his motion.
