Nehru’s contributions are wealth to nation: Veerappa Moily
Mangaluru, November 14: Former chief minister and MP M Veerappa Moily said that the contributions of first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru like five years plans, Non-alignment policy, Establishment of independent agencies, Secular culture and development works were the real wealth of the country.
Inaugurating the birthday of Nehru at the party office at Mallikatte here on Wednesday, Moily said that it was a tragedy that nowadays, people who oppose the independent institutions and fabricate the history were in power. The ideologies of Nehru should be emulated to protect the culture and richness of the country, he said.
Presiding over the programme, former minister B. Ramanath Rai said that the insulting of Nehru family was an insult to the country. Nehru’s dreams could be fulfilled by respecting the plural culture and democracy, protecting the Constitution and communal harmony, he said.

China urges India to join forces against U.S. tariffs amid growing trade tensions
New Delhi: The Chinese Embassy in India has called for solidarity between China and India in the face of escalating trade tensions triggered by the United States’ recent tariff hike.
On 8 April 2025, Yu Jing, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy, highlighted the mutual benefits of China-India trade ties and encouraged both nations to work together to address the challenges posed by the U.S. administration’s tariff policy.
On 2 April 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, with higher rates for selected countries. As a result, China now faces a cumulative tariff of 54% on its exports to the U.S., while India is subject to a 26% tariff. The move, intended to address trade imbalances, has caused ripples across the global economy.
In response, China has announced a 34% tariff on all U.S. goods, effective from 10 April 2025. President Trump has warned of an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports unless Beijing retracts its retaliatory measures.
The embassy’s appeal for unity comes as Beijing seeks to build alliances amid increasing trade friction with Washington. However, experts remain sceptical about the possibility of deeper China-India cooperation due to longstanding political and strategic differences between the two neighbours.
