Congress MP KC Venugopal submitted an Adjournment Motion Notice in India's Lok Sabha on February 3, 2026, between 3:45 AM and 6:45 AM UTC, demanding discussion on the newly announced India-US trade agreement. He cited the government's failure to share details with Parliament despite economic, agricultural, and strategic implications, urging immediate disclosure of terms. (ANI) Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump on the landmark trade agreement in a post during the reporting window, stating it unlocks opportunities for Indian farmers, MSMEs, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers to 'Make in India' for the world and access US technology. Goyal described the deal as a historic turning point reshaping India-US relations toward 'Viksit Bharat 2047.' (@PiyushGoyal) US official SecRollins praised the deal for boosting American farm exports to India, addressing the 2024 US agricultural trade deficit of $1.3 billion with India. The post quoted President Trump recounting a morning call with Modi, where Modi agreed to stop buying Russian oil, buy more from the US and potentially Venezuela, and help end the Ukraine war. (@SecRollins) Venugopal's notice emphasized Parliament's right to know the exact terms and called for the government to place all details before the House and nation, highlighting the urgency for an Adjournment Motion discussion. No official government response to the notice was reported in the three-hour window.
