Samyukt Kisan Morcha demands Goyal’s resignation, asks PM to refrain from signing deal with U.S.
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), a farmers' organization in India, is protesting the recently signed India-United States trade agreement, claiming it harms Indian agriculture and betrays farmers. The SKM argues that the deal will allow U.S. agricultural companies to dominate the animal feed market and increase tariffs on Indian goods while decreasing them for American products. Leaders of apple and cotton growers also expressed concern about the impact on their industries. The SKM is calling for the immediate resignation of Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and a general strike in response to what they see as an anti-farmer agreement.
