The leaders emphasized that they will not accept any compromise on critical issues.

Farmer organizations across several states criticized the central government on Thursday regarding the proposed India-US trade deal, warning that its implementation could severely harm the interests of the farming community. The coalition has firmly signaled that any policy undermining rural welfare will be met with organized resistance.

Representatives from diverse regions, including Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Kerala, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh, attended the proceedings. These groups have agreed to set aside their internal differences to form a unified platform, creating a strong, collective front to address the challenges posed by the upcoming trade agreement.

Key organizations, including the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (non-political), Azad Kisan Morcha Punjab, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Morcha, and Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh, convened for a strategic meeting in Chandigarh. During the session, leaders engaged in deep discussions concerning the potentially devastating negative impacts this trade pact could have on farmers, laborers, and small-scale traders.

The unions have issued a clear warning: if the government continues to ignore their legitimate concerns, the coalition will be forced to launch a nationwide agitation. To finalize their roadmap and determine their future course of action, the representatives have officially decided to hold a follow-up meeting in Chandigarh on July 1.

The leaders emphasized that they will not accept any compromise on critical issues such as agriculture, animal husbandry, employment, and national food security. They warned that this trade deal threatens to become a major danger to the livelihoods of farmers, livestock owners, workers, and the general public.
