Anna wants ‘open debate’ with Modi on Land Bill

Social activist Anna Hazare, currently campaigning against the NDA government's amended Land Acquisition Bill, on Thursday asked for an "open debate" with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the controversial clauses of the proposed law.

In response to a query about Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's willingness to debate the Bill with those opposed to it, Hazare said, "Gadkari's homework is weak. We are ready to have an open debate with the Prime Minister on camera to discuss the issue threadbare." "Let the people watch this debate and see the facts for themselves," he told reporters at his native Ralegan Siddhi village in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district.

Gadkari had earlier said that the government was willing to debate all aspects of the Bill, which is awaiting clearance in the Rajya Sabha.
