Govt. cheating cotton farmers, textile exporters over tariffs in India-U.S. deal: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Congress party, criticized the Indian government's trade deal with the U.S., alleging it unfairly benefits Bangladesh while harming Indian cotton farmers and textile exporters. He argued that the agreement, which imposes a 18% tariff on Indian garments, creates an unfair advantage for Bangladesh by allowing them to import American cotton without tariffs in exchange. Gandhi claimed this policy will hurt India's textile industry and lead to widespread unemployment. He emphasized that the deal is detrimental to both sectors and calls for a more balanced agreement that protects the interests of all involved.
