Bhupinder Singh Hooda is pleased that the land ownership rights legislation has been upheld by the Punjab and Haryana High Courts
Former chief minister and leader of the opposition, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, said that the Haryana people and the Congress party will replace the government, but the BJP is changing the faces of its politicians, including the CM and MP candidates.
Speaking at a press conference held here today, Hooda complimented the Brahmin, OBC, and SC groups of Haryana for obtaining the ownership rights of land that local panchayats had granted them and expressed thanks to the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The former chief minister said, “The High Court has praised the land reform law made by the Congress government and declared it completely constitutional.”
The Congress leader went on to say that several groups of people had moved to various Haryana villages years ago after coming from other regions. “Those folks received land donations from the local panchayats and other sources. Dohlidar, Bootimar, Bhondemar, and Mukararidar are the names of these classes. These included individuals from many social strata, including barbers, Prajapat, lohar, Valmiki, Dhanak, Goswami, Swami, Barbuja, washermen, teli, and other craftsmen, in addition to Brahmin, Purohit, Pujari, and Jangra Brahmin, he claimed.
But even after years of habitation, settlement, and cultivation on the land, these groups were never granted the right to possess it. As a result, neither they nor he were able to sell this property or get a loan against it.
“The Land Act, 2010 was put into effect by the Congress government to provide ownership rights to each of these sectors. Nevertheless, that legislation was abolished by the BJP administration in 2018. The former chief minister said, “Now, the High Court has recognised the law made by our government as legal.” Regarding Rajkumar Saini, Hooda said that neither the Loktanktra Suraksha Party nor its leader, Rajkumar Saini, would consider joining the Congress since such attitudes and practices had no place in the party.
Speaking on the rising crime rate in the state, Hooda said that it was the biggest issue the state was now facing. “Common folks live in terror, while criminals commit crimes without fear. It seems that the state does not have a government,” he said.
