Trade Deal Protest: Battle for the Mandi, Kharge and Rahul to Address Thousands in Bhopal Today

The Congress party is organizing a major ‘Kisan Mahachaupal’ in Bhopal today to protest against the proposed trade deal with the United States. Senior leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, are scheduled to participate in the event. The party has strongly opposed the trade agreement, claiming it would negatively impact Indian farmers. Rahul Gandhi alleged that the government has “sold out the country’s farmers” through its policies related to the deal. The Mahachaupal aims to mobilize farmers and raise awareness about what the Congress describes as potential threats to agricultural interests, pricing security, and domestic markets. Party leaders are expected to address large gatherings and outline their stance against the agreement. The protest comes amid growing political debate over the implications of the India-US trade negotiations.
