The leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi , on Friday flagged what he called a “deepening crisis” in India’s textile sector due to the high U.S. tariffs and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene, saying the issue was threatening jobs and small businesses.

India is planning dedicated outreach programmes in 40 countries, including the UK, Japan, and South Korea, to push textiles exports amid a 50 per cent tariff imposed by the US on Indian products, an official said on Wednesday.
