Senior Congress Leader Mani
Shankar Aiyar has said today that the Land Acquisition Ordinance passed by the
BJP-led government at the center is completely against the farmers of the
country.
"This is not only a movement
of Anna Hazare but everyone is angry. We [Congress] brought the Act [Land
Acquisition] for the betterment of the farmers of this country that too with
the support of the BJP," he told the media. Aiyar further said that the common man of the
country knows that how has he been robbed of his rights.
The diplomat-turned-politician
said that Congress would take out a protest on Wednesday to register their
opposition to the ordinance.
In another development in the
national capital, social activist and anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has begun
his dharna protest at the Jantar Mantar against the amendments in the Land
Acquisition Bill.
When asked by the media about the
protest, Hazare said that the BJP duped the country with its slogan of 'achche
din' and came to power to do good to the corporate world. He also mentioned
that there is a need to create awareness among the citizens of the country as
there are a number of people who are unaware of the changes that the BJP has
made to the original Bill.
