Mysuru, Nov.5- Maintaining that the farming, sericulture and dairy sectors of the country will be badly hurt if India signs the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Participation) agreement, former Chamarajanagar MP R. Dhruvanarayan has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to sign the RCEP agreement. He was speaking at a seminar on ‘RCEP: The effects on Rural Economy,’ organised jointly by Dalita Vidyarthi Okkoota and University of Mysore (UoM) Research Students Association at the Humanities Auditorium in Manasagangothri here yesterday.
Claiming that Prime Minister Modi is thinking of signing the agreement, which is aimed at providing a market to Chinese goods banned by America, Dhruvanarayan said that India is second in the world in silk production and the agreement will spell doom for the silk industry.
