All American non -alcoholic beverages have been banned from August 27 from Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Panjab, on the day when President Donald Trump’s new tariff measures were gaining in India, increasing the overall burden on Indian goods to almost 50 percent.
The AAM AADMI (AAP) Rajya Sabha member (MP), ashok Kumar Mittal, who is also the founder of the LPU, was performed at a press conference in the capital of the National Conference.
Mittal also called on all Indians to join the hand of American products and join what he calls the Swadeshi 2.0 movement in response to Trump tariffs.
This step comes in a direct response to the “unfair” decision of America to double tariffs to Indian goods, with an overall increase to a stunning 50 percent – one of the highest tariff rates deposited to any country in the world, Mittal said.
When asked which brands were disabled, the office answered, and said, “Coca-Cola and Pepsi products” have been banned so far.
“While the US and their European allies continue to buy oil from Russia, India is unfairly focused on setting their own national interests first. LPU, one of the largest private universities with 40,000 students, immediately forced boycott and I am proud to see great support from the country throughout the country.”
LPU is a private university founded and controlled by Ashok Kumar Mittal, while the administration and operation are governed by his wife Rashmi Mittal, as a prosecutor of the university.
“By disabling American soft drinks on LPU, we want to send the world a clear message that India will not bow to any unfair dictates,” he said.
Previously, Mittal wrote an open letter to US President Donald Trump, describing an increase in tariff as “unfair” and disturbing. Mittal urged the US president to “choose a dialogue over Discord, coordinating forced”.
“India is a” dead economy “, you said. Yet this” dead “economy is 4. The largest in the world, soon the third and remains the fastest growing among the main nations. American companies generate $ 80+ billion a year from the Indian market across education, finance and IP, ”Mittal wrote in a letter.
Mittal’s letter came the day after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that stored another 25 % tariff on imports from India.
By disabling American soft drinks on LPU, we want to send the world a clear message that India will not bow to any unfair dictations.
