‘Bangladesh is indicating that it may reduce or stop cotton imports from India…’ Rahul Gandhi’s big claim

India-US Trade Deal Row : The opposition is continuously raising questions on the policies of the Modi government regarding the trade deal between India and America. The opposition alleges that why India is imposing 0 percent tariff in response to America’s 18 percent tariff. Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has claimed that why important details of the trade deal between India and America were hidden from the country.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi shared a video on X Post and wrote, “18% tariff vs 0% – Let me explain, how the Prime Minister and his cabinet, who are experts in lying, are spreading confusion on this. And, how they are cheating the country’s cotton farmers and textile exporters with the India-US trade agreement. Bangladesh is being given the benefit of 0% tariff on garments exports to the US – the only condition is that they import American cotton. India When I raised a question in the Parliament about the special concession being given to Bangladesh after the announcement of 18% tariff on the garments of India, the minister of Modi government replied – “If we also want the same benefit, then we will have to import cotton from America.” After all, why was this thing hidden from the country till then?”

Rahul further wrote, “And, what kind of policy is this? Is it really an option – or a trap of ‘well in front, ditch behind’? If we import American cotton, our own farmers will be ruined. If we don’t import it, our textile industry will lag behind and be destroyed. And, now Bangladesh is indicating that it may also reduce or stop cotton imports from India. Textile industry and cotton cultivation in India. The livelihood of crores of people depends on these. A visionary and nationally oriented government would have made a deal that would have protected the interests of both the cotton farmers and the textile exporters. On the contrary, Narendra Modi and his ministers have struck a deal that could prove to be a major blow to both the sectors.
