QUESTION HOUR SUSPENDED FOR


ANTI-FARMER

Last Monday, in its first round against the


central government in the House concerning the
ordinance of land acquisition, the Congress
asked the house to suspend the question hour
the following day for debating the argumentative
measure. The Congress named the measure
anti-farmer.

Anand Sharma, member of the Upper House


and deputy leader of Congress, was the one who
gave the notice beneath Rule 267 looking the
Question Hour and the debate on the ordinance
to be suspended. He said that the Congress
cannot ignore the measure and is sure to oppose
it.
According to some inside sources, the Congress
discussed the matter with Janata Dal (U),
Samjwadi Party, and Trinamool Congress in
order to launch a synchronized attack on the
matter against the government.

According to Sharma, the intentions of the


government are questionable since the measure
is retrograde and damages the national
harmony. He said also that the measure opposes
the interest of farmers and suppresses the
protections
against
needless
acquisition
particularly of numerous crop land, food
security problems and resolve of public purpose.
The Congress leader added that the government
is undermining the national harmony on land
matter and boarding on a regulation road while
India is in an agricultural distress.

Abhishek Singhvi, Congress spokesperson, said


the party will oppose the ordinance on land in
strong terms. However, he seemed to indicate that
Congress may not embrace similar strong position
against the insurance ordinance. On this matter,
Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the party is
ready to provide constructive assistance but the
government should not take the partys cooperation
and support for granted since some issues are very
important to the party. The Congress spokesperson
added that the party will stand with full force
against a slightest attack on the ideas that Congress
cherish and nurture. The issue on land ordinance is
among these issues according to the Congress
leader.

Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the media that


the conscience of the party is clear. He revealed
that the act on the land acquisition was passed
after long discussions and the party was shocked
that the land acquisition needed an ordinance.
Abhishek Singhvi called the ordinance antifarmer, anti-people and said the Congress will
agitate until the government will understand
that the core of democracy is to involve
everyone. Ghulam Nabu Azad, Congresss and
Rajya Sabhas member said that Congress would
battle any ordinance that was anti-people.

A leader from Trinamool Congress said that his party would demonstrate against the ordinance outside and inside the house. Sharad Yadav, Rajya Sa

A leader from Trinamool Congress said that his


party would demonstrate against the ordinance
outside and inside the house. Sharad Yadav,
Rajya Sabha member and president of Janata
Dal-United said that while the government is
claiming that development is for all, they are
working just for some moguls. He said that since
the ordinance on land is against farmers and
people, the party will oppose it.

At the same time, M. Venkaiah Naidu,


Parliamentary Affairs Minister, asked the
assistance of all political parties in order to make
sure that the parliament is functioning smoothly.
When talking to media outside the House, the
minister guaranteed that the parliament will
discuss the content of each ordinance.
