India-US Trade Deal Faces Criticism Over Transparency and Agricultural Impact

The recently announced India-US trade deal has sparked significant debate. The government, represented by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, assures that sensitive sectors like agriculture and dairy are fully protected and that the pact will enhance export competitiveness. However, opposition parties and farmer groups, including Congress and AAP, criticize the deal for lacking transparency and fear it may harm Indian farmers by allowing zero tariffs on American agricultural imports. Protests and demands for full disclosure continue amid concerns over potential impacts on domestic agriculture and energy policies.
