Tarun Gogoi extends support to Anna Hazare on Land Acquisition Ordinance issue

GUWAHATI: Government of Assam extended support to social activist Anna Hazare in his fight against the Land Acquisition Ordinance.

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that the Government of Assam has all along been opposing anti-people, anti-farmers’ policies.

“Our Government stood against anti-people and anti-farmers’ policies. The Land Acquisition Ordinance is anti-people and anti-farmers’ and meant to serve only the interests of the rich, affluent and industrialists. We are dead against such a policy and not going to implement it. Our Government expresses its strong opposition to the Ordinance and extends full support to social activist Anna Hazare in his crusade against it,” he added.
