His remarks come amid the ongoing tariff tensions with the United States.

PM Modi, who was virtually addressing a public event at the inauguration of the Phase 2 of the Sardar Dham Girls Hostel in Ahmedabad, referred to his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort wherein he emphasised on Swadeshi, saying India should become “Atmanirbhar (self-reliant)”.

“Today, amid these global uncertainties, the best way for India to go forward is to be self-reliant. This means we have to urge the use of Swadeshi products. Our enthusiasm for using Make in India products must grow. Swadeshi movement is not just a century old movement, it is a movement to give strength to our future,” Modi said. “We have to lead this movement, our youth, our sons and daughters must lead this movement. We must decide that henceforth, in our house and in our family, nota single foreign product will arrive.”
