Rahul and Kharge to launch nationwide protest 'India-US interim trade deal'

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge are scheduled to kick off the nationwide campaign against the India-US interim trade deal by the party by addressing a farmers rally here on Tuesday. 

The decision to oppose the deal was taken at a meeting in the AICC office in Delhi recently, according to



Madhya Pradesh unit Congress chief Jitu Patwari. 

The US supreme court had struck down the tariff policy of American President Donald Trump on Thursday.

Had the Centre waited for 18 days more and not accepted the interim trade deal, the interests of the farmers of the country could have been protected, Mr. Patwari said.
