Rahul Gandhi, while speaking in the Lok Sabha after days of logjam, attacked the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government over the recently finalised trade deal with the United States and said the government should be ashamed of the same. Launching a scathing attack, Gandhi said Centre "sold India", adding that by allowing US goods to enter, the government endangered the livelihoods of farmers.

"You have sold India. Are you not ashamed of selling India? You have sold our mother, Bharat Mata," he said while referring to the trade agreement.

"We are heading into turbulent times and the nation has been sold. The nation has been sold out. Its data has been sold and its farmers have been sold," Gandhi reiterated while concluding his speech.

After Rahul Gandhi’s speech ended, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said no one can sell India and accused the Congress party of weakening the country. He asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the strongest PM of India and said, “Congress is sad because India is progressing."
