Goyal on Sunday (February 8) rejected notions of compromise on sensitive issues and accused some political elements of instigating protests by misleading farmers by distorting facts. “The agreement resulted in a balanced interaction in goods, services and non-agricultural sectors, where both countries maintained a balance between offensive and defensive priorities without compromising India’s Lakshman Rekha,” he said.
