Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement on trade deal is a no-statement, says Congress

Congress members criticized Piyush Goyal, the Union Commerce and Industry Minister, for his statement on the India-U.S. trade agreement, calling it a "non-statement" lacking concrete details. Jairam Ramesh and Randeep Singh Surjewala argued that the agreement's disclosure by US officials contradicted the Indian government's silence in Parliament. They expressed concerns about potential negative impacts on Indian farmers due to increased imports of U.S. agricultural products, as well as concerns over genetically modified crops and dairy imports.
