Amid a raging debate on the controversial land bill, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused opposition party of misleading people on the issue of tribal and forest land saying such a campaign will hurt the interests of the country.PM said that tribal and forest land do not come under the ambit of the land bill and are protected by separate laws and people who lack knowledge run this (campaign) 24 hours and they do not know and added that there are efforts to mislead society on the issue.
Modi said addressing conference of state environment and forest ministers that for them it must be a small issue, a matter of their political principles, but do they realise how much it was hurting the country and the ongoing campaign must end and added that a debate based on facts and truth is welcome. After all it is a democracy. But when truth lacks weight, they spread lies and a country is not run like this.
Modi's remarks that came against the backdrop of government trying to build a consensus on the land bill in Rajya Sabha where NDA lacks numbers. The land bill, which cleared the Lok Sabha with nine official amendments, faces a tough task in Rajya Sabha. An ordinance on land promulgated earlier was to lapse on 5 April. It was repromulgated last week since it could not be converted into an Act by Parliament in the ongoing Budget session.BJP has asked its MPs and senior leaders to explain to the people the benefits of amending the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act brought by the previous UPA government.
