Target: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry
Goal: Urge the Indian government to stand firm against unfair US trade pressures and protect the interests of Indian workers, farmers, and industries.
In his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Modi called on the nation to resist external pressures and focus on building India's own strength. This message comes at a crucial time, as the US government, under President Trump, has imposed harsh tariffs on Indian goods and sought to penalize India for its independent energy policies. These measures are designed to force India into unfair trade agreements and undermine the livelihoods of Indian farmers, workers, and small businesses.
We believe that India must not bow to economic coercion. Instead, we call on the government to prioritize the needs of its people, defend national sovereignty, and pursue policies that foster self-reliance and equitable growth. Let us send a clear message: India's future will not be dictated by foreign interests.
