Congress supports anti-POSCO brigade

Asking the Orissa government to refrain from "forcible" land acquisition for the POSCO project near Paradip, Congress today committed its support to the people unwilling to give their land for the South Korean steel maker.

Congress sent a four-member team headed by party's chief spokesman Prof Kailash Acharya to Dhinkia area where about 600 policemen were deployed to acquire land for POSCO project.

"Though chief minister Naveen Patnaik had announced that force won't be used for acquiring land for industries, today's incident proved his false claim," Prof Acharya told PTI over phone from Dhinkia area.

Stating that Congress was totally opposed to the use of force for setting up industries, Acharya alleged that people were not consulted before acquiring their betel vines.

"Land acquisition in Nuagaon gram panchayat is a clear case of state sponsored terrorism. No law is followed for acquiring land for Posco," he said, asking as to how the government could acquire land for a company which has no legal MOU.

While the district administration of Jagatsinghpur claimed that it acquired 11 betel vines from Gobindpur village today, the Congress team alleged that no beneficiary had turned up to receive compensation.

"This indicated that betel vines are acquired without consent of people and by use of force," he said.

The team was scheduled to submit its report to the new PCC president Niranjan Patnaik tomorrow.

Meanwhile, five political parties comprising CPI, CPI(M), Forward Block, RJD and SP in a statement issued here warned the government of "dire consequences" if it applied force for acquiring land for POSCO project.
