Farmers Organize Protests Against Proposed India-US Trade Deal and Related Policies

Farmers' unions in Haryana and across India are mobilizing protests against the proposed India-US trade deal, alleging it threatens farmers' livelihoods by allowing cheaper American agricultural imports. Led by groups like Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), they demand legal guarantees on minimum support prices, loan waivers, and repeal of recent labor and agricultural policies. Demonstrations, including effigy burnings and planned tractor marches, aim to pressure the government to reconsider the deal and address broader farmer concerns.
