AAP Slams India-US Trade Deal: Calls it 'Biggest Betrayal of Farmers'

  • AAP's Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal criticizes proposed India-US trade deal, labeling it a "biggest betrayal" of farmers and a compromise of national interests.
  • Dhaliwal challenges Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar to make the draft public, alleging the deal favors US products with zero duty while Indian goods face 18% tariffs.
  • Warns that American agricultural products, including red sorghum, would flood Indian markets, harming farmers of maize, millets, and sorghum in states like Punjab, UP, and Maharashtra.
  • Highlights adverse effects on fruit-growers in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh due to duty-free imports of apples and dry fruits from the US.
  • AAP vows to oppose the deal, stating it concerns the entire nation and is part of BJP's anti-farmer policies, noting PM Modi has not discussed it in Parliament.
