The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held a protest to demand the tabling of the Land Acquisition Amendment Act 2007 in the forthcoming winter session of the Parliament. This was part of the nationwide protests by the party. The kisan morcha of the party under the leadership of national president Om Prakash Dhankar held the protest at Khuda Alisher.

The party has demanded that certain amendments be made in the Bill before it was tabled. The leaders stated that land acquisition should be made for country security purpose and infrastructure facilities and not for profitable project of private companies. The urgency should be specified which must relate to the internal security of the country and its disaster management. Private companies may purchase land on the consensus of Kisans. Government should not play middlemen role.

Minimum land be acquired for that purpose and a ceiling should also be fixed for sale purpose. Keeping food crisis in the country and land fertility in view the fertile land should be conserved like forest land. Barren, un-irrigated and minimum producing land should be acquired for projects other than roads and canals.

The recommendations also include rehabilitation should precede land acquisition. More options be kept for compensation and rehabilitation and project effected person be given right to negotiation.

Dhankar says that farmers are being troubled by the government. Land banks are being created by companies. The government is acting as the middlemen and fertile land is being sold off. He added that in case the bill is not tabled in the Parliament they would hold protests and the farmers from across the country would be collected.
