PRAGOTI

 It is shocking to say that the UPA-2 government is vigorously pursuing its agenda of neo liberalism by keeping the people of the country unaware of the deals it is signing under the Free Trade Agreements with European Union and Israel. Though the successive  WTO meetings have failed to reach a conclusion as far as trade barriers are concerned following a stiff resistance by the developing countries, still the Indian state has taken the bilateral method of clinching many such deals . Quite interestingly , the WTO with all its imperialist agendas still had transparency in the multilateral agreements being pursued. But here we have a situation where except the government no one knows the fallout of FTAs in the country. It is only with some materials being published in Europe and elsewhere that we come to know the seriousness of the situation.  In this regard a round table conference was held in Delhi with four peasant organisations and some individuals in the organisation. The following  resolution was passed.
