New Delhi:

Activist Anna Hazare has started his two-day protest against the amendments in the Land Acquisition Act in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

Here are the highlights:

  • Land Ordinance is undemocratic.
  • Government's Land Bill is anti-farmer.
  • To cater to the industrialists, how can you betray the farmers?
  • This is a mass movement for farmers.
  • This is land grab by the government.
  • This is what the Britishers used to do.
  • Land law changes injustice by the government.
  • Fortunate to die serving the country rather than die of heart attack.
  • Common man is the master and government has to serve us.
  • What is the need to bring in ordinance when Act was passed in 2013?
  • Very few farmers are aware of Bill; need to create awareness.
  • We are not here to protest but to prevent.
  • Before elections, you promised 'Achche Din', so we voted for you.
  • Fortunate to die serving the country rather than die of a heart attack.
  • 4 months hence, it will be Jail Bharo Andolan in Ramlila Maidan.
