Rajnath Singh echoed PM Modi's vow that India will emerge stronger "no matter how much pressure is put" on New Delhi, in a veiled message to Donald Trump.

India’s policy, strategy, and self-reliance will remain steadfast and the country will continue to emerge stronger “despite any global pressure", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday, in an apparent reference to Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on New Delhi.

He emphasised that the interests of India’s farmers and small traders are paramount for the Narendra Modi government, and the administration will not compromise on this.

“India does not consider anyone its enemy. But for us, the interest of our people, our farmers, our small traders is paramount. We cannot compromise on our country’s welfare at any cost. No matter how much pressure is exerted, India will continue to give the highest priority to the interests of its farmers, small businessmen, shopkeepers, livestock keepers, and common citizens," Rajnath said while addressing the NDTV Defence Summit.

He is the second minister after PM Modi to speak about “pressure" on a public forum within a week, without, however, taking names of any country but an apparent reference to the United States.
