CPI(M) Stands Against US Tariff Policies

On Thursday, the local Communist Party of India (Marxist) staged a protest outside the deputy commissioner's office, voicing their opposition to the US-imposed tariffs.

The party members targeted both US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their protest. A subsequent rally culminated in a public meeting, where ex-MLA and CPI(M) leader Rakesh Singha addressed the crowd.

Singha criticized Trump's strategy of 'tariff terrorism', which he claimed was a tactic to coerce countries into accepting unfavorable US trade terms. He warned that these tariffs, particularly affecting India's exports like textiles and agriculture, could lead to severe economic repercussions.
