"Not Undermining Tariff Impact, Doors Open For Discussions": N Sitharaman
Reiterating that the GST reforms were not triggered by US trade tariffs, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the tariffs will hit those who are exposed to the US.
"I am not undermining the impact of a 50% tariff, but it hits exporters who are exposed to the US. The government is doing some kind of work to support them in some form. But the inputs to make in that policy or designing a scheme will also depend on those hit by the 50% tariff telling us to what extent they are exposed," she said.
Ms Sitharaman added that the Centre is keeping doors open and diplomatic teams are engaging with US.

"Population Control Programs Need To Shut Down": Economist Sanjeev Sanyal
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Economic Advisory Council (EAC) member and economist Sanjeev Sanyal said that every kind of population control program needs to be shut down.
"We are 30 years into a market-based economy. We are still fighting structures created in the socialist, even Colonial period. The one-child policy was removed in China recently, 30 years past when it was obvious they had to do it. You have to go into our systems to see all kinds of incentives to implement birth control. But if there is a government program that promotes it, then at the very least you should get rid of it," he said.
