CPI(ML) Liberation MP Raja Ram Singh has called for a special Lok Sabha session to tackle rising concerns over U.S. tariff threats affecting Indian agriculture. The controversy centers on fears these tariffs could devastate farmers' livelihoods, with Singh advocating for urgent parliamentary discussion.

In his letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Singh argues that the U.S. tariff threats jeopardize Indian exports, specifically in agriculture, emphasizing the potential havoc on farmers' income. He criticized the Modi government's failure to counteract U.S. policies, labeling it a capitulation to imperialist demands.

The debate gains further momentum as the All India Kisan Sabha demands the Modi administration withdraw from onerous trade negotiations with the U.S., warning of broader economic repercussions, including impacts on MSMEs and potential protests against government compliance with U.S. interests.
