Rahul Gandhi dares PM Modi to cancel trade deal with US

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday once again alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi "signed the anti-farmer India-US trade deal" under pressure due to the Epstein files and the ongoing 'Adani case" in America and said he was challenging the PM "to cancel" the proposed trade deal in view of the US Supreme Court striking down President Donald Trump's tariff regime.

Addressing the 'Kisan Mahachaupal' farmers' rally organised by the Congress in Bhopal, Gandhi said, "I challenge Prime Minister Modi from this platform. Since the US Supreme Court has given its decision, now you cancel the deal with America. I challenge you. But you won't."

Speaking on the occasion, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said, "Under this interim US-India trade deal, America will impose arbitrary tariffs on us, but we will import their goods without tariff. This is the same policy that was in place during the British rule."
