TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ ShivSena today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take a cue from US President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to protect jobs for “sons of the soil” and act against Pakistani artistes “snatching” jobs from Indians in the country.
“Pakistani artistes, technicians and TV people come to India to earn money, while touting words like friendship and ties. They snatch away livelihood of locals here.
“Can India implement a policy like Trump and say that these Pakistanis won’t get a job here and also declare that those who give work to Pakistanis are the enemies of India,” an editorial in Sena mouthpiece Saamana said.
President-elect Trump had recently said that he would not allow Americans to be replaced by foreign workers, in an apparent reference to cases like that of Disney World and other American companies wherein people hired on H-1B visas, including Indians, displaced US workers.
“What someone like Trump…can do, our PM, who is known as courageous and knowledgeable, can certainly do,” the Sena said.
The Sena claimed that Trump seems to have been inspired by Balasaheb Thackeray on his slogan of ‘jobs in the US for sons of soil only’.
