The Congress on September 12 opposed the lowering of import duty on American apples. The party said it would adversely affect apple growers in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was giving a “gift” to the United States by reducing import duty while harming the interests of domestic apple growers.
