To, The Prime Minister,Government of India, South Block, New Delhi
Hon’ble Prime Minister,
The WTO Ministerial in Hong Kong in December 2005 is coming closer and the developing countries are facing extreme pressure from the developed countries to reach to an agreement. Keeping in view the deep agrarian crisis in India, every concerned Bharatiye is quite apprehensive about India’s position on Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and what would be our gain and where we would loose in the ongoing negotiations on the Doha development agenda. Even though the UPA government claims about transparency and accountability to the people of the country, yet no attempt has been made by the government to make public its proposals for the Hong Kong Ministerial.
