Anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare on Friday said a ‘jail bharo aandolan’ will be started across the country taking up the questions raised by farmers and demanded a separate Krishi Ayog for them.
Addressing the biennial conference of the Krishak Mukti Sangram Parishad in Rangoli Hazare said, he will start the Aandolan at the end of his three-month countrywide tour from April next raising questions on the condition of farmers after the Independence.
“I will tour 10 states and address people there. We have to raise the farmers questions and ask what is the condition of the farmers today even after 68 years of achieving the Independence,” he said while addressing the KMSS conference.
We are not happy with the role of the government in the Land Acquisition Bill. Irrigated land is given to industrialists. Earlier which ever farmer’s land is acquired by government, permission of 80 per cent of the people in the village is required. But this government has removed that. No difference with the pre-Independence colonial power,” he said.
