Farmers' Unions Mobilize Protests Against India-US Trade Deal and Related Policies

Farmers' unions in Haryana and across India are mobilizing protests against the India-US trade deal, which they view as detrimental to farmers' interests. Groups like Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni), All-India Kisan Sabha, and Sanyukta Kisan Morcha are organizing Mahapanchayats and awareness campaigns, demanding legal guarantees on minimum support price, loan waivers, compensation for crop losses, and repeal of recent labour and agricultural policies. They also criticize the central and state governments for alleged inaction on farmer-related issues and call for dismissal of the commerce minister over the trade deal.
