In the corridors of power, a fierce Congress campaign unfolds, demanding parliamentary time for Rahul Gandhi to dissect the India-US trade agreement roiling farmer communities. The pact allegedly prioritizes American agri-exports—corn, soybeans, apples—over Indian interests, igniting fears of market flooding.
‘You’ve handed farmers’ futures to the US,’ MP Imran Masood alleged, slamming the government’s role in crippling the rural economy. Clear terms emerged from Trump-era talks, contradicting official downplays.
Democratic norms are crumbling, MPs claim, with opposition speeches thwarted and sessions suspended. Tariq Anwar spotlighted the unease, probing the compulsions behind India’s yielding posture and decrying Dubey’s vulgar outbursts as orchestrated vilification.
‘Give the Leader of Opposition his due,’ urged KC Venugopal, framing it as parliamentary sanctity. Manickam Tagore broadened the plea: All opposition chiefs, plus PM Modi, must debate openly.
As agrarian anxieties peak, this battle transcends party lines, probing the health of India’s deliberative democracy. Resolution demands not adjournment, but engagement—lest trust in institutions erode further.
