New Delhi: In a dramatic turn of events, the Opposition parties in the Rajya Sabha staged a walkout on Wednesday, protesting the India-US trade deal that they claim was hastily announced by US President Donald Trump without proper discussion or consultation. The Opposition members expressed outrage and frustration over the deal, which they believe favors a select few, including business tycoon Gautam Adani, at the expense of national interests and farmers. According to Leader of the House Jagat Prakash Nadda, the Opposition's actions are a form of 'frustration politics,' aimed at misleading the public and undermining trust in the government. Nadda accused the Opposition of disrupting proceedings and repeatedly stalling the House, claiming that their behavior is 'issueless' and contrary to national interest. Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan chimed in, warning the Opposition that their actions are 'destructive for democracy,' and that their behavior reflects a lack of interest in the country's growth and trade. Nadda assured the House that the government is prepared to answer all questions related to the trade issue and promised a suo motu statement soon. The Opposition's walkout has sparked a heated debate over the India-US trade deal, with allegations of secrecy and bias levelled against the government. As the controversy unfolds, the Opposition has vowed to continue protesting against what they see as a threat to national interests and the welfare of farmers.
