The Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) staged a bike rally on Monday to protest the Punjab Land Pooling Policy and garner public support. Farmers’ leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said that following the bike rally, they will hold a Mahapanchayat in Jalandhar.
“A perception war is going on. The government is saying the policy is good, but we are going to the public to reveal the government’s true face. In the next phase, we are not denying the possibility of a protest at the borders,” he said.’
Sarwan Singh Pandher said that he has written to SKM (Samyukt Kisan Morcha), and there will be a big movement to force the government to take back the policy. Today’s motorcycle march will uproot the government.
Earlier on Thursday, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that Punjab’s land pooling policy appears to have been notified in haste, and it had put an interim stay on the policy. The concerns, including social impact assessment and environmental impact assessment, should have been addressed before its notification.
A division bench of justices Anupinder Singh Grewal and Deepak Manchanda said, “We may hasten to add that the land which is sought to be acquired is amongst the most fertile land in the State of Punjab and it may impact the social milieu”.
