Youth Congress slams India–US Trade Deal

By Special Correspondent

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Youth Congress president Yash Ghanghoria on Saturday strongly criticised the reported India–United States trade agreement, alleging that it threatens the interests of farmers, youth and small industries. Addressing a press conference, he claimed the deal had been announced by the United States and imposed under pressure, raising concerns over India’s sovereignty and economic security.

He alleged that the agreement could open Indian agricultural markets to foreign corporations and create a crisis for MSMEs and small industries. He further claimed that Indian products may face higher taxes while American goods could receive favourable treatment, potentially harming domestic producers.

The Youth Congress also raised concerns about the possible transfer of data of 1.4 billion Indians to foreign companies and the impact on India’s foreign policy and energy security.

Ghanghoria said the Indian Youth Congress would hold a protest march to Parliament of India on March 16, demanding transparency and a parliamentary debate on the agreement.
