Ramadoss’ call for defeating land bill

PMK leader S. Ramadoss on Wednesday called upon political parties to come together to defeat the Land Acquisition Bill in Parliament.

In a statement here, he said as the passing of the bill in Lok Sabha appeared certain, the Opposition should unite and ensure that it gets defeated in the Rajya Sabha.

“Particularly the MPs of Tamil Nadu from AIADMK, DMK, Congress, Left and the nominated members should vote against the bill in Rajya Sabha.

If the government pursues its efforts to pass the Bill through a Joint Session of Parliament then all democratic efforts should be taken to defeat that move,” he said.

Dr. Ramadoss said the government’s determination to pass the Bill bore testimony to its anti-farmer stand.
