PEOPLE'S MOVEMENTS TO DENOUNCE FORCIBLE LAND GRAB

SHELVE THE LAND ACQUISITION AMENDMENT BILL AND NATIONAL REHABILITATION BILL

BRING IN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING ACT WITH RIGHTS TO THE PEOPLE

People's Movements to present their position before Public, Parliament and Government

 

Dharna and people's parliament at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on 23-24 July, 2009

ALL ARE INVITED

THE UPA GOVERNMENT IS AGAIN TRYING TO put up the two Bills, amendment to the Land Acquisition Act and the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Bill before this Parliament.

The amendment is worse, since it incorporates 'private' purpose into 'public' purpose and rehabilitation offered is without any guarantee of land and alternative livelihood to those displaced.

The Acts would not bring in fair and just rehabilitation but push and facilitate more displacement than ever!

The Draft Development Planning Act, approved by the National Advisory Council and its Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi in January 2006 had consent of the people's organisations but that is shelved and weak anti-people draft is brought up by the 'Empowered Group of Ministers' including Kamalnath, Chidambaram, Sharad Pawar and others. WHY? We must ask.

Let's gather in large numbers at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on July 23rd and 24th to assert our right to land, water, forests, fisheries and minerals.

Demand a decentralized development planning based on Article 243 of the Constitution, PESA 1996 and Forest Rights Act, 2006.

We should compel the Government to:

ü      Repeal Land Acquisition Act of British Legacy

ü      Issue a White paper on land acquisition, displacement and rehabilitation for the last 60 years.

ü      Shelve the two Bills and hold a national consultation on the NAC approved draft along with the displaced people and the people's organizations.

ü      Institute a Joint Parliamentary Standing Committee for the discussion on the two Acts.

The detailed Invite, background documents and contact details follow.
