Karnal Farmers Protest India-US Trade Deal and Support Students' Demonstrations
Farmers in Karnal, led by the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) under the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), protested against the proposed India-US trade deal, fearing it would harm Indian farmers and small traders by exposing them to unfair competition. They also condemned the alleged lathicharge on protesting students in Delhi, expressing solidarity and demanding justice. Protesters submitted memorandums urging the Union government to reconsider the trade agreement and called for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
