Chandigarh : Indian Youth Congress on Saturday said that it will gherao the Parliament on March 16 to protest against the ‘dilution of the pro-farmer clauses’ in the Land Bill that is being amended by the BJP government in the Centre.
Addressing a press conference here, the IYC president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring charged that the Land Acquisition Act enacted by the previous UPA government in 2013
was pro-farmer and had been adopted after taking all aspects into consideration.
“The present government is doing away with these provisions to appease the corporate sector,” he said. He said in case the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) was sincere, the party must adopt a resolution in the forthcoming Budget session of the Assembly opposing amendments and incorporating all the suggestions its core committee had made earlier this week.He made it clear that his party would move this resolution in the Assembly in case the SAD failed to do so.
