Meanwhile, Lok Sabha LOP, along with AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, will visit Bhopal today to address farmer's convention. Congress is organising a huge farmers' rally to protest the recent India-US interim trade deal.
The decision to oppose the deal was taken at a meeting in the AICC office. On Thursday, the US Supreme Court struck down American President Donald Trump's tariff policy. Congress argued that, if PM Narendra Modi waited for 18 more days and did not accept the interim trade deal, Indian farmers' interests could be protected.
