The letter invited the Japanese Ambassador to Gujarat for understanding the farmers' plight.

Ahmedabad Farmers in Gujarat whose lands will be acquired for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train have written to the Japan government, alleging violation of the guidelines of the Japanese agency which is funding the project.

The letter sent by the farmers asked the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which is providing a soft loan for the Rs 1.10 lakh crore project, to withhold disbursal of funds to the Indian government until the agency's guidelines are complied with, said a lawyer.

Advocate Anand Yagnik, who represents five petitioners who have challenged land acquisition for the project before the Gujarat High Court, said the petitioners and 1,000 other affected farmers, led by the Gujarat Khedut Samaj, have written to the Japan government.

They have also sought an appointment with Japan's Ambassador to India, Yagnik said.

The letter invited the Japanese Ambassador to Gujarat for understanding the farmers' plight, he said.

The letter alleged that JICA's guidelines for such financial assistance "are being flagrantly violated," so it should "withhold any instalment to be given to the government of India" till the guidelines are complied with, he said.
