Opposition MPs protest outside Parliament, call India–US trade agreement a ‘Trap Deal’

Описание: Opposition MPs staged a protest outside Parliament, holding placards and posters criticising the proposed India–US trade agreement and branding it a “Trap Deal.” The lawmakers alleged that the agreement could harm domestic industries, farmers, and small businesses if implemented without adequate safeguards. Protesters accused the government of lacking transparency and demanded a detailed discussion in Parliament before moving forward on the trade pact. According to opposition leaders, such agreements must prioritise national interest, protect local manufacturing, and ensure fair terms for Indian stakeholders. The protest added to the ongoing political debate over India’s trade policies and engagement with global economic partners. The government, meanwhile, has maintained that trade negotiations are aimed at boosting exports, attracting investment, and strengthening India’s global economic position.
