New Delhi, Jan 28 (KNN) The country's traders have launched an e-mail campaign to push for no-deferment of February 1 deadline for implementing the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy.

The Confederation of All India Traders Association (CAIT) is conveying the message from the trading community in strong terms by launching an ‘e-mail campaign’ asking its constituents across country to send more & more e-mails to Suresh Prabhu, Commerce Minister cautioning him not to extend date under any circumstances.

CAIT said, “The copies of the letter sent to Prabhu has been sent to DIPP Secretary Ramesh Abhishek and CEO Niti Aayog Amitabh Kant.”

Secretary General of CAIT, Praveen Khandelwal said that the campaign is already launched on January 26, 2019 when traders across country have begun to send e mails.

He said, “We will ensure that millions of such e-mails from trade associations & other trade organisations and individual traders should reach to government asking not to succumb under any pressure and there should not be any deferment or extension of the deadline date.”

The trading community in the country will not accept any such move and we have made our intentions very clear that of it happened, the traders will launch an aggressive national campaign against such move which is bound to create a political backlash and embarrassment to the government, he added.     

Khandelwal also informed that CAIT will organise a Dharna on January 29 at Jantar Mantar to raise its voice and foil the game plan of global e-commerce players.
