Jammu: The Congress chapter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) has planned an agitation against India-US trade deal, calling It anti-farmer and anti-fruit grower.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the IIOJK Congress chapter held a detailed meeting in Jammu to chalk out an action plan to oppose the India-US interim trade deal, terming it \u201canti-farmer\u201d<\/p>\n
The meeting, chaired by IIOJK chapter president Tariq Hameed Karra, was attended by senior party leaders from all 20 districts of the territory, and general secretary and Congress Legislature Party leader G A Mir, besides MLAs, former ministers and legislators.<\/p>\n
Addressing the meeting, Tariq Hameed Karra said the deal would \u201cdestroy farmers and fruit growers\u201d and adversely impact allied sectors such as poultry and dairy in the territory.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe US has imposed this deal on India. For the first time, the interests of farmers have been bartered away. Farmers and fruit growers in Jammu and Kashmir will be hit the hardest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis deal is anti-people and against the interests of the nation. The prime minister has sold the interests of farmers under external pressure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Karra announced that the party would launch a vigorous mass campaign against the deal and organise a series of farmers\u2019 and fruit growers\u2019 conventions across occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have invited Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to attend a fruit growers\u2019 meet in Kashmir and a farmers\u2019 sammelan in Jammu next month,\u201d he said, adding that district-level programmes would begin from March 1.<\/p>\n
Congress General Secretary G A Mir stressed the need to create awareness among farmers and common people about the implications of the deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time, a compromised prime minister has sold out the interests of farmers. Our leadership is determined to protect farmers, especially in occupied Jammu and Kashmir,\u201d Mir said.<\/p>\n
Congress working president Raman Bhalla said that the party cadres would reach out to farmers to explain the \u201cdangerous consequences\u201d of the deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
