To,
Shri Narendrabhai Modi
The Prime Minister
Government of India
Prime Minister’s Office, South Block
New Delhi.
Sub: Kindly apologize for violation of the Constitution of India and the Indian Parliament and withdraw “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Ordinance 2014.”
Sir,
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 became effective from 1st January 2014. Instead of implementing the Act, Government of India has amended the act by “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Ordinance 2014.”
The amendment by way of ordinance speaks for itself of the intentions and motives of the Government of India. We register our opposition and resolve to fight against the present government’s move by bringing the ordinance to further dilute the act to make it anti-farmer, anti-people.
We fail to understand the urgency for such a hasty move to further dilute “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013” by bringing the ordinance. The Government of India should make public the reasons for urgency so that people of India can understand the “Concerns” of the Government of India for such an anti-people ordinance. The Land Ordinance 2014 is unwanted and insult to Parliamentary Democracy.
We are forced make the “Paper Bag” of this “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Ordinance 2014.”
We are sending you with this letter a bit of ‘Organic Onions’ in response to your amended “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Ordinance 2014” to convey our protest and to express our concerns for the food securities of ordinary people.
Sincerely,
