Rahul attacks govt over India-US trade deal; triggers protests in Lok Sabha

In a recent session of the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing critique of the government's handling of the India-US trade deal. He specifically highlighted the changes in tariffs and accused the government of making unequal commitments that disproportionately benefit the United States while compromising India's interests. Gandhi argued that India has made significant concessions in the negotiations but has received minimal advantages in return. His remarks have ignited protests among opposition parties, who echoed his sentiments regarding the detrimental impact of the trade agreement on India's economy. The debate surrounding the trade deal comes at a crucial time as various sectors express concerns over its potential implications, raising questions about the government’s approach to international trade. The opposition has called for greater transparency and accountability, urging the government to prioritize the needs of Indian industries and consumers in these negotiations. As the discussions unfold, the ramifications of the trade deal remain a focal point in Indian politics, with both economic and diplomatic stakes at play.
