NCP backs Rahul Gandhi, raises question on Land Acquisition Bill

Ludhiana, Apr 29: Nationalist Congress Party leader Majeed Memon on Wednesday appreciated Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s gesture to meet the farmers in Punjab, saying it is necessary to know the ground reality rather than speaking in the air and trying to just push through the Land Acquisition Bill.“It must be appreciated because any important leader visiting the areas where the farmers are most affected like Punjab, Maharashtra and other states where even number of suicides are reported from,” said Memon ”I think we should appreciate that because it is necessary to know the ground reality by approaching the farmers and the relatives of those who have lost their lives in suicide and coming out with the data so that we are closer to truth rather than speaking in the air and trying to just push through the Land Acquisition Bill which in fact and in reality may not be in the best interest of poor farmers,” he added.The Congress vice-president, who had recently attacked the government and alleging that it was ignoring the farming community and favouring the industrialists and rich people, yesterday took his campaign against the BJP-led NDA Government’s Land Acquisition Bill to Punjab. The Amethi MP met several farmers of the state and listened to their plight.
