New Delhi [India], July 31 (ANI): Today, Communist Party of India (CPI) MP Sandosh Kumar P has submitted a Suspension of Business Notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, seeking an urgent discussion on the imposition of 25% tariffs and extra penalties imposed by US President Trump on Indian goods and their "rippling effect" on the Indian economy.

In his letter to the Secretary-General of the Rajya Sabha, Sandosh Kumar called for the suspension of the Zero Hour and other relevant rules relating to Question Hour and other business of the day.

"Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

"Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia's largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE - ALL THINGS NOT GOOD! INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST 1st. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. MAGA!", the US President said. (ANI)
