In a recent development, Punjab AAP leader Talbir Gill has launched a vehement critique of the recent India-US trade deal, suggesting it undermines India's farmers. He labels the agreement a move to 'stab' the country's farmers in the back, likening it to the controversial farm laws previously repealed.
According to Gill, this deal could become the 'biggest attack' yet on the agricultural community, accusing the government of only aiming to benefit corporate interests while ignoring farmers' welfare. He implores citizens across India to unite against the government's policies.
The recently announced trade deal involves significant reductions in reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods by the US, with India agreeing to procure American products, including energy, marking a major economic move. However, Gill demands full disclosure of the transaction details, alleging a lack of transparency.
