‘Anti-farmer and anti-worker’: Kisan Mazdoor Morcha protest India-US trade deal, burn effigies of PM Modi and Donald Trump

Farmers in Punjab protested the proposed India-US trade agreement, fearing it will harm domestic agriculture, labourers, and small traders. Burning effigies of leaders, they demanded the pact’s cancellation, citing concerns over increased imports and unfair competition from subsidized American farmers. This opposition echoes past farm law debates, with calls for MSP guarantees and irrigation reforms.
