The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The
Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its strong disagreement with the
central government over the insincere manner in which the food security
legislation is being handled. The CPI(M) had wanted the central
government to give utmost priority to this matter. However, the Union
Government failed to bring in a proper legislation for nearly four years
for the consideration of parliament, and now an ordinance is being
promulgated. The ordinance route shows contempt for parliament and is
anti-democratic.
The law promulgated by ordinance
does not provide for a Universal Public Distribution System and there
are other defects. The CPI(M) will raise these objections and push for
amendments to the Bill when it comes up in parliament.
