Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the leader of the main opposition party and Chairman of the CPN Maoist Center, has said that the government has introduced an ordinance related to land in favor of the land mafia. Addressing the House of Representatives meeting on Thursday, Dahal said that not only the process but also the intent of the ordinance issued now is wrong.

Even though there was support in 5 of the 6 ordinances brought by the government, Jaspa, Nepal has also expressed dissatisfaction that it supported the government in the ordinance related to land. Waiting for the decision of the JSP, the government also removed the agenda for presenting the ordinance in the parliament on Thursday. Questioning the process and intention of the ordinances brought by the government, he said, "We have doubts not only about the process, but also the intention of the ordinances issued in the meantime." land and  What is the intention of the ordinance issued to amend the National Parks and Wildlife Protection Act?  He also said that the revised provisions will make it easier for the real landless, Dalits, squatters and unorganized settlers to get the red portion of the land that is being cultivated or will it be more difficult, complicated and expensive?' He further said, "The land rights of lakhs of landless dalits, squatters and unorganized residents are being tried to be suppressed by putting the land in the middle region in the negative list where land cannot be provided." What is the purpose of amending the Parks Act after putting the intermediate area in the negative list in the Land Act?

He clarified that although there is a need to correct the unscientific system of classification and evaluation of land when providing land to unorganized residents, to pay a small fee for the poor, rural areas and land for the purpose of agriculture and to collect a lot of fees for the rich, urban areas and land given for the purpose of housing, he clarified that the government is trying to do the opposite. Rather, some of the provisions of this Ordinance provide grounds that can be misused to give legal form to the sale and transfer of ownership of lands across the country, including the Giribandhu T-State. It is being tried to implement a system of arbitrarily classifying the land use of farmers according to the wishes of the land mafias and to change it, the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation should be called.

He said that by suppressing the right of farmers to sell a small piece of their own land as land, by destroying the poor people and small real estates, they are trying to create an environment in which all housing purposes and houses and land will be taken over by big real estates and land mafias.

'On the one hand, it is being said that the Forest Act 2076 has been amended to provide land to landless Dalits and squatters, on the other hand, on the direct instructions of the Prime Minister, a meeting was held at the Prime Minister's Office under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary. People's representatives elected in 2074 are being tried to make a false case by linking them to the incident of 2073. They have been threatening and enticing that they will change the party and not pursue the case brought with them. Is this level of apolitical conspiracy and deception acceptable?'
