Srinagar/Aug,30: Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JK CSF) here on Sunday termed the forcible land acquisition and the denial of applicable compensation policy in J& K unacceptable and said the apathy of semi ring road victims is a living example of the injustice.
Referring to the statement of well known RTI Activist Raja Muzaffar Bhat Wani in a statement issued here on Sunday while responding to the pleas raised by Bhat said that the real comprehensive revolutionary ideology of Karballa is to fight against the tyranny of the times by developing a society which is self-empowered for societal transformation. Wani said that sacrifice of Hazrate Imam Hussain Alahi Salam was for upholding truth and fighting the corrupt system to live a life of justice and dignity with submission to Almighty.
Wani said that Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF) came into existence after realizing collapse of the desperation of JK society to fight for its legitimate and genuine rights that are guaranteed by none but by the law of the land itself which it has been governing.
JKCSF is all set to initiate a legal struggle for the rights of the deprived and the innocent people who be the land owners, laborers or people of any other section of the society.
Expressing surprise over the present procedure Wani said that the Ring Road project affected land owners were given compensation according to the repealed and obsolete J&K Land Acquisition Act 1934 (samvat 1990) and not as per the new Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation Act (RFCTLARR Act 2013) which is applicable in J&K post article 370 abrogation. He said that under the present norms people get 3 to 4 times more compensation than the notified Govt rate in rural areas and this is double in urban areas. “In addition to it there is provision of rehabilitation and resettlement as well” Wani observed, adding that ‘right to fair Compensation is the only act that could have been beneficial to people of J&K post abrogation of article 370 but it seems Govt wants to deprive people of J&K of fair compensation.
Wani urged the affected landlords of Ringroad Project not to bow their head before the Government to become the victims but to continue their fight against the injustice assuring them JKCSF would be always at their back.JKCSF appreciated the research studies of RT Activist Raja Muzaffar Bhat.
