Land Acquisition Act amendment weakens law passed in 2013: Samyukta Kisan Morcha
Description
Sonepat, August 25The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) today condemned the land acquisition Act amendment made by the Haryana Government, saying the Act opens floodgates of compulsory acquisition under the garb of PPP without farmers’ consent.“This amendment seeks to bring, from the backdoor, anti-farmer amendments that the Modi government failed to carry out in 2015. It undermines the whole point of the historic law that was unanimously passed by Parliament in 2013,” the SKM said.Meanwhile, all preparations to organise a national-level convention at the Singhu border on Thursday and Friday to mark the completion of nine months of the farmers’ protests are in full swing.The farmers’ protest against the three agriculture laws will complete nine months on Thursday. The main focus of the convention is to strengthen, intensify and expand the protest across the country.Besides, preparations for the proposed kisan rally scheduled for September 5 in Muzaffarnagar, UP, are also in full swing.
