It is also came to know that Farmers from Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Haryana and other parts of the country put forward their views during the meeting.
The Tamil Nadu leader though expressed disappointment at not many JPC members turning up for the hearing.
Do you know Priya what social activist Medha Patkar told against the Modi Govt? As per her, a new kind of conspiracy in getting the land bill promoted, projected and passed from states to the Center as it is in the existing list. But people's movements are determined to fight the law at state level.
hi Abhishek, Only god knows when is the bill going to pass????? The committee has 13 members who are opposed to, while 11 are in favour of proposed amendments. So, the votes of rest 6 members, who are mostly regional party leaders, matter more. So, they need to pressurise them to protect their rights.
I don't understand why are they playing such kind of game in the parliament. Have they ever experience the beggar's life or they ever plough the field in sunny day or they ever harvest the crops? If not.....then how can they say that they are with the farmers? I think BJP Govt has the majority in the parliament so they don't need to ask and should stamp the bill in the next session of the parliament.
The Congress leader also accused the Centre of running away from its administrative and moral responsibility.
JPC members and MPs Jairam Ramesh also admitted that he was not completely satisfied with the 2013 Land Acquisition Act brought by the previous UPA government, but added that he had to find a middle path being a cabinet minister then.
As per Md. Salim Of CPI (M) asked farmers to force their respective MPs to take the right attitude so as to make sure government changes its stand on the bill. According to him farmers will feel cheated, if they rely on Parliamentarians. So, force their respective Parliamentarians to force government to change its approach.
Hey Folks, As per the latest new, farmers and activists on Friday, 24th of July,2015 demanded for withdrawal of the NDA government's Land Acquisition law. At a public hearing organized by Bhumi Adhikar Andolan, a union of agricultural worker, the land bill opposers, which included activist Medha Patkar, JPC members and MPs Jairam Ramesh of Congress and Mohammad Salim of CPI(M), also accused the Narendra Modi government of playing a new kind of conspiracy by getting the bill passed from the states.
My friend Balwinder.......That is why they are called minister. In India if you are doing good for your nation or the people of the nation the opponent will take it in a different way. It show their negativity during the ruling period. They will never do good nor they can see others to do good.
Jairam Ramesh of congress advised farmers to put pressure on 6 members of the panel whose votes are crucial in deciding conclusion of the panel report. They have failed in their duties and now they are putting pressure on others to stay away with it. it shows their duty toward the nation. And we people vote such kind of people to act for us.
Hi Priya, My question to you.....are you happy with this land acquisition bill or not?
As per opposers, they want withdrawal of the bill to secure land rights for farmer. I want to ask them that they have given 10 years of long time.....what were they doing? Why didn't they pass the bill in their ruling which can help the farmers? Why now?
As per them Modi Government asking respective states to structure their respective laws is nothing but, in a way, admission of his defeat as farmers have taken firm stand on the issue.
Yes. The central government has indicated 14 different legislations where reforms needs to happen. One area in particular stands out. It is the land acquisition area. If the reform happens, development in all areas will fastrack putting to motion the initiative to improve Indore into a major metropolitan city.
Yes. I heard that too. Supposedly Union Minister for environment and forests said that land reforms are coming the Indore way to bolster up development of infrastructure in all the key areas which has been lagging around these areas in particular.
