Indian Politician Links Farmer Protests to Proposed U.S. Trade Deal and Labor Codes
What happened
Dipankar Bhattacharya stated that ongoing protests by the INDIA bloc against alleged vote theft would integrate concerns from farmers and the working class. He warned that the proposed India-U.S. trade deal could be detrimental to Indian agriculture, as farmers might struggle to compete with American farmers backed by the U.S. state and economy. Bhattacharya also criticized the Labour Codes, arguing they lack concern for the welfare or security of Indian workers.
