PM decided to prostrate before Trump, says Rahul on UPI charge
The Congress has sought to link the UPI decision to what it describes as growing U.S. pressure on India, including demands for changes to the zero merchant discount rate regime for UPI
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "prostrating" before U.S. President Donald Trump over the introduction of a charge on certain UPI transactions, demanding an immediate rollback of the decision. The Congress has linked the UPI decision to growing U.S. pressure on India, including demands for changes to the zero merchant discount rate (MDR) regime for UPI, and has stepped up its attack following moves in the U.S. Congress to impose tariffs on countries buying oil and gas from Russia.
