Farmers' Fury: Rohtak Sees Anti-Vance Protest Amidst Trade Talks

Farmers’ Fury: Rohtak Sees Anti-Vance Protest Amidst Trade Talks

AIKS activists staged a spirited protest in Rohtak on Monday, April 21, 2025, targeting US Vice President JD Vance’s India visit. The demonstration was a direct response to ongoing bilateral talks on tariffs and trade.

The Rohtak protest formed part of a larger nationwide agitation orchestrated by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM). The SKM, a powerful farmers’ coalition, voiced strong concerns over the potential impact of trade negotiations on Indian agriculture.

AIKS members expressed anxieties about the implications of trade deals on domestic farmers. They fear increased competition and potential losses for India’s agricultural sector.

The protest highlights the deep-seated apprehension among Indian farmers regarding international trade agreements. The government faces a crucial challenge in balancing economic growth with the welfare of its farming community. The upcoming harvest season will be a critical test of this balance.
