Parliament Budget Session Day 5 LIVE: Motion of thanks on President’s address to continue; Congress demands debate on India’s trade deals

The Congress has demanded that the Modi government should take Parliament into confidence and the text of both the EU and U.S. trade deals must be laid on the table of both Houses and debated.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said that from the information President Donald Trump has provided, it is abundantly clear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “completely surrendered”.

“From the information President Trump has provided, it is abundantly clear that Prime Minister Modi has – like he did on May 10, 2025 – completely surrendered. He has most definitely appeased President Trump. India stands diminished by this unfortunate sequence of events,” he claimed.

Pointing out that Parliament is in session, Mr. Ramesh said the text of both the EU and U.S. trade deals must be laid on the table of both Houses and debated, “especially since the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has issued a statement claiming that India has liberalised agricultural imports from the U.S.”.
