Waqf Bill and Trump’s Tariffs on India are linked, claims THIS Congress leader - ‘a tactic to distract the public’

Congress leader Imran Pratapgarhi suggests that the timing of the US imposing 26% tariffs on India was a strategic distraction from the controversial Waqf Amendment Bill, which was passed during a late-night parliamentary session.

Congress leader Imran Pratapgarhi attempted to link the passage of Waqf Amendment Bill and the imposition of 26 per cent tariffs on India by US President Donald Trump. “The parliament was working until 2 in the morning, and at 1:30 am, the US imposed tariffs. The country and especially the BJP voters must understand that this Waqf (Amendment) Bill was pre-planned to deviate people from the issue of tariffs.

The US imposed 26% tariffs, but the government is not ready to talk about that, and I have heard that the PM has now gone to Thailand,” Pratapgarhi, the Rajya Sabha MP of the Congress party said. (This is a developing story. Check back for updates).
