Founded by AAP -LP in Punjab, this private university prohibits US soft drinks on campus. Know why

All US soft drinks brands were banned from the campus of Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Punjab from August 27, the day when President Donald Trump’s new tariff measures on India came into effect, increasing the overall burden on Indian goods to nearly 50 percent. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha member of Parliament (MP), Ashok Kumar Mittal, who is also the founder chancellor of LPU, made the entry at a press conference in the national capital. Mittal also appealed all Indians to give hands to boycott US products and join what he mentions the Swadeshi 2.0 movement in response to Trump tariffs. The move comes in direct response to America’s ‘unfair’ decision to double rates on Indian goods, and takes the overall increase to a staggering 50 percent – one of the highest rates imposed by the US on any country in the world, a statement from Mittal’s office said. When asked about which brands were banned, the office answered and said: ‘Coca -Cola and Pepsi Brand’ products are now banned for now. ‘While the US and their European allies continue to buy oil from Russia, India is being unjustly directed to put its own national interests first. LPU, one of India’s largest private universities with 40,000 students, immediately enforced the boycott, and I am proud to see a tremendous support for this matter from all over the country! “, The monkey leader said. LPU is a private university established and controlled by Chancellor Ashok Kumar Mittal, while administration and operations by his wife, Rashmi Mittal, are controlled as the university pro-chancellor. “By banning US soft drinks at LPU, we want to send a clear message to the world that India will not bow down to any unfair dictats,” he said. Earlier, Mittal wrote an open letter to US President Donald Trump, where he described the tariff increase as ‘unfair’ and disruptive. Mittal has chosen the US President ‘Dead Economics’,’ you are a coordination. Yet this ‘dead’ economy is the fourth largest in the world, soon third, and remains the fastest growing among major countries. US companies earn $ 80+ billion from the Indian market on education, technology, finance and IP every year, “Mittal wrote in the letter. Mittal’s letter comes a day after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order that signed an additional rates of 25 percent on the import of India. Dictats will not be.
