The Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM), an affiliate of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has called on the Indian government to shield farmers and small businesses in the country during trade talks, especially with the United States. SJM has stressed the importance of prioritizing bilateral trade agreements over multilateral deals. The organization criticized President Trump for his position on India’s tariffs and underscored the necessity of safeguarding national interests. SJM’s appeal comes amidst ongoing discussions between India and the US to enhance trade relations. The call to protect the interests of farmers and small businesses reflects the organization’s commitment to advocating for local industries. With a focus on promoting self-reliance and economic sovereignty, SJM’s recommendations aim to ensure that any trade agreements benefit India’s domestic sectors. As negotiations between the two countries progress, the issue of tariffs and market access remains a key point of contention. By advocating for a balanced approach that safeguards the interests of Indian stakeholders, SJM seeks to influence the direction of trade policies to align with the country’s economic priorities and development goals.
