PM failed to roar back at US on tariffs: Congress

Congress Working Committee member Pawan Khera on Saturday said that the government has surrendered before the US on the issue of lowering tariffs, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi only focusses on taking pictures with lions and cheetahs but failed to roar back at America to protest injustice.

Addressing media persons, Khera said when the PM is in the country he roars like a lion at Opposition members but surrenders before foreign governments when he goes abroad.

"You must roar back at Trump as well. The Congress, as a responsible Opposition, will back you in this," he said, referring to the PM's recent visit to Gujarat where he spent time with lions and cheetahs.

He said the government should demonstrate its firm intent to protect the interests of farmers, MSMEs, and all Indians. "Have discussions with experts and the Opposition and achieve clarity on the issue," he said.
