Farmers Rev Up Protests Against India-U.S. Trade Deal: Who's Listening?
In a bold display of unity, farmers organized a motorcycle rally under the banner of 'Desh Bachao Morcha' to voice their concerns over the proposed India-U.S. trade deal. They are demanding that the Central government prioritize the interests of farmers, workers, and small traders while safeguarding India's economic and food sovereignty.
The rally, which saw widespread participation, underscores the growing anxiety among agricultural communities regarding trade agreements that could undermine their livelihoods.

As reported by The Hindu, the protestors are urging the government to refrain from implementing any agreements that contradict the interests of ordinary citizens. With their livelihoods at stake, farmers are calling for accountability and transparency from government officials regarding the implications of such trade deals.
