The statement of Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) leader Sanjay Raut has created a new stir in politics regarding the India-US trade agreement. He has directly termed this agreement as ‘treason’ and called it an attack on India’s sovereignty and self-respect. Referring to the ‘Tryst with Destiny’ made by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on the historic night of 15 August 1947, Raut said that it was the resolve with which India gained independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken it.
They allege that this trade agreement with America is once again pushing India towards slavery. Especially the future of farmers and the general public has been compromised. After this sharp statement of Raut, this issue is not limited to trade policy only, but has taken the form of a big political debate related to the values of nationalism, sovereignty and independence.
Trade agreement settled in haste and panic- Sanjay Raut
Sanjay Raut said that Modi completed the trade agreement with America which was stuck for four months in haste and haste and America was the first to announce the agreement with India with great joy. Even during ‘Operation Vermillion’ with Pakistan, President Trump had earlier announced ‘ceasefire’. Now the same has happened in the case of trade agreements also. US President Trump and the US Agriculture Minister said that their country benefited from this agreement. Can Prime Minister Modi tell whether this agreement is beneficial for him? We should briefly understand the shortcomings of the India-US trade agreement.
Also said that with this trade deal, the tariff on India has been reduced from 50 percent to 18 percent. It was called a victory which is wrong. Till now America has been imposing an average tariff of less than 3 percent on India. Now America will impose 18 percent tariff on Indian exports. India will impose ‘zero’ tariff on goods imported from America. Till now India used to impose 30 to 100 percent tariff on American goods. This has now become a loss-making deal for India. From now on, India will increase the purchase of energy, technology, agricultural products and other goods including coal from America by $ 5 billion. This will weaken India’s trade relations with other friendly countries. America will have complete control over the Indian market.
India will suffer a loss of Rs 80,000 crore in the new agreement- Raut
Sanjay Raut said that India will no longer buy cheap oil from Russia. According to the new agreement, it will now have to buy oil from America and Venezuela. India will suffer a loss of Rs 80,000 crore due to this. Only the diamond traders of Gujarat have benefited from the India-US trade agreement. Mumbai’s diamond trade shifted to Gujarat. If it remains the same, there will be zero percent tax in America on raw (loose) diamonds and colored gems exported from India. At the same time, workers, farmers and small traders will die due to the burden of 18 percent tax. American farmers’ products, grains, pulses, milk, cheese, fruits, flowers, everything will be available in the Indian market at very cheap prices due to ‘zero’ taxes. Due to this, the remaining existence of Indian farmers will end.
Sanjay Raut said that the agreement with America is like a deal to mortgage the country. Whose permission did Modi take for this agreement? Four months ago, President Trump had imposed some conditions on India. India will have to stop buying oil from Russia. Then Modi had said that India itself will decide from whom to buy oil. Now Modi has accepted Trump’s condition. The stand of the Modi government that it will not allow American agricultural products to enter the Indian market has now collapsed. How will Indian industry and trade be protected when the entire Indian market is opened to American products? When American ‘goods’ reach the entire Indian market, what will happen to ‘Make in India’ and our indigenous companies? ‘Startup India’ and ‘skill development schemes’ have all but evaporated.
Direct attack on farmers, industry and ‘Make in India’ in the new agreement – Raut
When the US Agriculture Secretary expressed happiness after this trade deal, one thing is clear. Modi benefited American farmers by sacrificing Indian farmers. The British came as traders and captured India and enslaved us. Now the same picture is visible in the case of America also. Why did Modi bow down so much? The first reason is that a case of financial fraud and bribery is going on in the American court against Modi’s industrialist friend Gautam Adani. There is a lot of material about India in the files along with the ‘film’ named ‘Epstein File’. Rahul Gandhi has already exposed this matter, so to save themselves, Prime Minister Modi and his people made an agreement to make India a slave of America.
The blind devotees who considered Prime Minister Modi as a great man put the secret of Shri Ram for sale and America was the first to announce the purchase of India. India did not announce the ‘agreement’, rather this announcement was made from Washington. The agreement signed with America is anti-national. No patriot will support this agreement. There is no relation between BJP and patriotism now. Their role has changed from ‘nation first’ to ‘business first’. That’s why they are celebrating this anti-national agreement. Raut also said that on the midnight of 15 August (1947), Pandit Nehru had made a ‘pact with destiny’ to remain dedicated to the service and welfare of India and its people. Now Narendra Modi has broken this agreement.
