He may be Mr Modi\u2019s &#8220;friend&#8221;, but why is he announcing India\u2019s policies on social media while the Prime Minister maintains silence? What deal has been struck behind closed doors, and why is it being hidden from the nation?\u201d the AAP leader asked.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal warned that under this deal, the BJP is preparing to open India\u2019s doors for American agricultural goods at zero tax, which will destroy Indian farmers by flooding the market with cheaper imported products. \u201cThis is not trade. This is surrender. This is BJP\u2019s plan to finish the agriculture sector in India so that their capitalist friends can profit,\u201d Dhaliwal said.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal reminded that farmer unions and several Chief Ministers had earlier warned the Centre that if any agreement is made with the US, agriculture must be kept out because Indian farming is already in deep crisis. \u201cBut BJP is again trying to bring the same \u2018black farm laws\u2019 back through the back door,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal also raised alarm over the health and food safety risks of chemical-heavy American produce and warned that the deal could also force India to stop purchasing oil from Russia and shift to costlier imports from the US, leading to massive inflation. \u201cWhen fuel becomes expensive, everything becomes expensive. This deal will hit every household,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal also cornered BJP\u2019s Punjab leadership, asking why they are maintaining a criminal silence on an issue that directly threatens the state\u2019s backbone &#8211; agriculture. The AAP spokesperson questioned whether BJP leaders in Punjab have the courage to tell farmers where they will go once American wheat, maize, soyabean, cotton, dairy, fish, meat and other products enter India at near-zero tax and destroy local markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPunjab is a farming state. If this deal is implemented, what will happen to our wheat belt, our cotton belt, our dairy farmers, and our own fish markets? BJP Punjab leaders must answer, where will our farmers go, where will our agriculture go, and what future will be left for Punjab?\u201d the spokesperson asked.<\/p>\n<p>MLA Dhaliwal demanded that PM Modi immediately disclose the full agreement, including all terms and conditions, in the Lok Sabha and to the people of India.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal declared AAP will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with farmers and will fight this \u201canti-farmer, anti-Punjab, anti-India\u201d deal both inside Parliament and on the streets until it is scrapped. \u201cPunjab is the backbone of India\u2019s agriculture. If this deal is implemented, Punjab will be devastated. AAP will not allow BJP to sell India\u2019s farmers for political friendships and corporate profits,\u201d the party asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zero-Tax Entry for US Farm Goods Will Destroy Indian Farmers;
