Sharad Yadav seeks scrapping of SEZ Act
Gargi Parsai
NEW DELHI: Janata Dal (United) president Sharad Yadav on Wednesday urged the Union Government to convene immediately an all-party meeting to discuss issues such as setting up of Special Economic Zones and entry of corporates and multi-national companies in the retail sector. He wanted the SEZ Act "scrapped" and the `archaic' Land Acquisition Act amended.
At a press conference here, Mr. Yadav said it was a matter of serious concern that the Government was giving approvals for SEZs despite a nationwide resentment. On the one hand, United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi said that no SEZs should come up on farmland, and now Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has declared that the government was contemplating a generous rehabilitation policy for displaced farmers.
