  5. Textile sector must get assistance in form of US counter Tarriff Subsidy so that tarrif effect could be neutralized in short term and at the same time other countertarrif measures should be implemented as soon as possible

  6. How immoral these leaders of the country called America except many great American leaders who are wise and with high moral.
    Mr Lunatic says they can trade with Russia even 20 percent trade increase from the previous year but india fuels the war, because the American money is going to Russian God and only indian money goes for war.

  8. The world should know, Bharat has always displayed independence, USA has always sided with Pakistan they did that in 1971 and USA continues, America again put lots of Restrictions on India when India tested Nuclear test. So Bharat can deal with that, Now we will deal with Iran and Venezuela as well.
