'One-sided': Oppn MPs flag concerns over trade deal
Business Standard
|February 11, 2026
The Lok Sabha on Tuesday afternoon took up a discussion on the Budget, with several Opposition MPs accusing the government of signing a trade agreement framework with the United States (US) that would hurt India’s farmers.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav termed the India-US interim trade agreement “one-sided”, saying it would hurt the farming community because of imports from the US and also harm domestic industry.
In the Rajya Sabha, Milind Deora of the Shiv Sena, an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance, asked if India’s economy was indeed dead, why the European Union had signed “the biggest trade deal” with India and not with China or the US.
