| Congress leader Jairam Ramesh today accused the Narendra Modi-led NDA government of "diluting the Forest Rights Act" and said his party will launch a nation-wide political campaign on the lines of the one it ran against amendments to the Land Acquisition Act.
"There will be a national political campaign on the Forest Rights Act 2006 like we had a national campaign on amendments to the Land Acquisition Act of 2013," Mr Ramesh told reporters in New Delhi.
He said the campaign would highlight in each state the manner in which the implementation of the Forest Rights Act was being destroyed.
It would be led by Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and go up to December 2016 "which will be the 10th anniversary of the passage of the historic Act by Parliament", said Mr Ramesh who was environment minister during the second stint in office of Congress-led United Progressive Alliance.
