RSS-affiliate Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) has said India should comprehensively review its present and proposed international trade agreements as "days of globalisation are over."
The Narendra Modi-led government has crossed its mid-term and now it is time for them to evaluate the current national and international economic situation, SJM co-convener Ashwani Mahajan said.
Trump's victory on the plank of 'America first' and Britain's exit from the European Union point out that after 25 years of aggressive globalisation, de-globalisation has started, he said.
"It is high time the Centre reviews the trade agreements of India with other countries and instead of relying on international trade growth, the government should focus on domestic demand-led growth," he said.
The RSS forum also appreciated the Centre's stand on One Belt one Road (OBOR) issue, and demanded a ban on all Chinese companies from tender processes in government-related projects.
India has expressed reservations over the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project of China's prestigious One Belt and Road (OBOR, citing violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
