Controversial India-US Trade Deal Sparks Debate: Kharge Criticizes Government's Approach

Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, has criticized the India-US trade deal, alleging it undermines Indian farmers and disrespects parliament. Kharge claims farmers will suffer as American imports enter tariff-free while Indian exports face fees. He criticized the government's approach to social justice, women's rights, and constitutional democracy.

In a scathing critique of the recent India-US trade deal, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, accused the government of neglecting Indian farmers' interests. The agreement, announced by US President Donald Trump, reportedly involves zero tariffs on American imports, potentially harming local agriculture.

Kharge argued that this move, made without parliamentary consultation, undermines Indian democracy and questioned the government’s commitment to the welfare of its farmers. He pointed out that while the President's address referenced women's reservation, it failed to address fundamental social justice issues.

Raising concerns over India's economic disparities, Kharge criticized the government for its lack of action on rising inequality and unemployment, and for failing to address recent violence against minorities. The Opposition leader expressed deep dissatisfaction with the government's approach to law-making, alleging a disregard for democratic processes.
