I heard 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.
Good evening friends, Only god know 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. I want to ask you all, 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? Then why we people vote for them and elect our minister?
According to me, 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.
You are absolutely right Priyaranjan, 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.
Doing this what do they want to prove that they really well wishers of the farmers.....no .....no at all......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.
Hi all, Have you heard the latest news on Land Acquisition Bill? 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.
people have disappointed with this bill issue. In India, it is even seen that if you are doing anything good for your nation or the people of the nation the opponent will take it in a different way. It shows 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.
Even i think so, 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.
@Praneeth, Do you know 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 Centre as it is in the existing list. But people's movements are determined to fight the law at state level.
In the case of Hyderabad.. we can now create land banks of vacant and for development projects. Another important aspect is that while the earlier changes or removal of consent clause has been termed anti-farmer, though they are definitely industry friendly,
There is also the option of setting up a parliamentary panel and referring the bill to it, though it is likely to delay passage of the bill by a further six to eight month period.
The government has the option to either pass the bill in a joint sitting of the two houses where it will have the requisite numbers to get it passed in case it gets rejected in the Rajya Sabha or it will have to re-promulgate the ordinance again to give itself breathing space.
Also, Employment for at least one member of farm labour families which are affected due to displacement and land acquisition Removal of exemption from consent clause extended earlier to five sectors has been taken away from social infrastructure projects under PPP model
The amendments made are in this bill are.. Limiting the industrial corridor to 1 km on both sides of high ways and railway lines. This is limited to industrial corridors being set up by the government only.
The new Bill introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha has nine additional amendments or concessions, plus two additional clauses made by the government to appease its allies and the opposition to some extent to gain some consensus before introducing it in the Rajya Sabha.
The land acquisition wa recetly passed in the lok sabha. The Central Government managed to get the amended Land Acquisition Bill passed in Lok Sabha.This Bill is an amended version of the original Bill introduced and passed in 2013 by the previous government.
