The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP SP) leader Supriya Sule on Monday demanded that the government act to safeguard Indian investors and tax-paying middle class from the stock market crash, reported the PTI.
The stock market crash was reportedly triggered by fears of a potential global economic slowdown over new US tariff policies.
