CHANDIGARH/Ludhiana, July 23 -- The opposition parties on Tuesday slammed the AAP government over its land pooling policy saying it is trying to cheat the farmers by promising compensation which it is not in a position to pay. "It is like a postdated cheque on a crashing bank," said Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Responding to the government decision offering acre based compensation to farmers till the area is developed, Warring said: "This is a diversionary tactic to fool farmers." "When the government doesn't have enough money to run its own day-to-day affairs, pay the salaries, where will it get the money from to pay to the farmers?" he questioned. Slamming the government, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal asked village panchayats to pass resolutions against any acquisition of land. Calling the land-pooling policy a "land-grabbing scheme", Badal said his party would not allow one inch of land to be acquired in the state come what may. Addressing a 'dharna' outside the deputy commissioner's office in Ludhiana, Sukhbir demanded immediate revocation of the entire 40,000 acres of land acquisition plan. HTC...
