Amit Shah accuses Rahul of misleading on trade deals, says PM Modi safeguarded farmers

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has strongly criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly misrepresenting India's trade agreements with the United States, European Union, and the United Kingdom. During a recent address, Shah emphasized that these trade pacts are designed to protect the interests of Indian farmers, cattle rearers, fishermen, and the dairy sector. He asserted that the agreements were crafted with careful consideration to ensure that the livelihoods of these groups are not compromised. Shah's remarks come amidst ongoing debates about the implications of international trade on domestic agriculture and rural economies. The government maintains that such trade deals will bolster India's economic position globally while safeguarding essential sectors. This confrontation between Shah and Gandhi highlights a broader political discourse regarding the impact of globalization on Indian agriculture, as the opposition continues to challenge the ruling party's policies and their effects on local farmers.
