The problem with the authorities is that they try to counter you through legal procedures, which were developed by British in such a way that anybody could be trapped into it. So people have become strangers in their own land, violators of their rights in their own place while big companies are there to grab the opportunity and helplessness of the people.

Will the government assure people that they will not be displaced through these mega deals of projects? Will the prime minister tell the people that whatever happens, all the projects will first have to give in writing and insurance of honourable rehabilitation of people? So those who challenge the entire process do not become anti-national because you have not followed the process.

So, to hide the weaknesses of the government authorities these intimidation are started and we must not succumb to that. A government must not carry forward the agenda unleashed by Man Mohan Chidambaram-Montek team of corporate agents. We hope that the prime minister came on heavy people’s mandate and he definitely owe it to the people that he will not let them down in their expectations and promises.
