Rahul Gandhi's 'simple questions' on India-US trade deal vs Amit Shah's ‘spreading lies’ barb

In a recent political exchange, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi raised five pointed questions regarding the proposed India-US trade deal, arguing that it could jeopardize the interests of Indian farmers. He emphasized that the trade agreement might lead to unfavorable conditions for the agricultural sector, which he described as a betrayal of farmers' rights. Responding to Gandhi's assertions, Home Minister Amit Shah accused him of spreading misinformation and misleading the public. This confrontation reflects the ongoing debate over trade policies and their impact on India's agricultural economy. As the discussions around the trade deal progress, the government is under pressure to address concerns from various stakeholders, including farmers' unions, who fear that increased imports may undermine local agriculture. The political discourse surrounding this issue highlights the broader implications of globalization and trade agreements for domestic sectors in India.
