Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has slammed US President Donald Trump over 50 per cent tariff imposed on the Indian imports, marking the first political attack from the government.
Without taking Trump’s name, Singh made a reference of Sabke Boss’ to hit out at the US President. He said that some people are unable to digest India’s progress as they think ‘sabke boss to hum hain!’ (I am everyone’s boss).
Addressing a gathering in Madhya Pradesh, the Defence Minister said, “There are some people who are not happy with the speed at which India is developing. They are not liking it. ‘Sabke boss toh hum hain’, how is India growing at such a fast pace?”

He added that despite an attempt at global level to make India-made products expensive, the nation will continue to grow fast and emerge as a superpower.
“And many are trying that the things made in India, by the hands of Indians become more expensive than the things made in those countries, so that when the things become expensive, the world will not buy them. This effort is being made. But India is progressing so fast, I say with full confidence that now no power in the world can stop India from becoming a big power of the world…,” he added.
