5. Mortgaging the Country to US Economic Interests The Prime Minister had signed an agreement in 2005 with America that will harm farmers' interests. Once the nuclear deal is through America will push for the implementation of that agreement. Under it a joint committee has already been set up which from the American side has representatives of the global .
footers Monsanto and Wai-Mart. These companies want to take over crucial markets like the seeds market and also agribusinesses in India. Wal-Mart is well known the world over for its rapacious trade practices, which have destroyed crores of small retail traders all over the world. In India over 5 crore families are dependant on retail trade. We are against the entry of FDI in reta1l trade. The Government has signed an agreement, which has permitted a representative of the biggest destroyer of retail trade to come into India as a member of the board. Monsanto. a company which has made billions of dollars by snatching away the rights of farmers to seeds, has controlled the world market for highly expensive pesticides, wants the same rights in India. This agreement will help the domination of multinational companies over Indian agriculture through patent and other rights on farm inputs as well as controlling the sale of products through.
the control of trade in agricultural commodities. .
A joint forum of representatives of Indian, and US corporales has been set up with a mandate to ''develop a strategic economic partnership" between the two countries. What is the partnership for? Certainly not to help the 77 per cent of India's working people who earn less than 20 rupees a day! The forum has already come out with a first set of 30 recommendations of which 21 are demands of us industry to open up the Indian market They want FDI in retail trade, insurance, education sector while.
opening up of the financial sector. .
Shamefully, this forum has been given legal recognition by the Government of India. Once the nuclear deal is through, American companies will put pressure on Indian Government for their demands. For the workers and employees of this country who have fought against inhuman neo-libe:alism. the pushing through of the.
deaJ will fead to much harder times. .
Today, the UPA Government is in a minority in the Parliament as far as the Nuclear Deal is concerned.
