NGOs form 'agitation committee' against JDA, Raje govt

"As many as 13 NGOs today came together and announced the formation of an "agitation committee" to protest the Jaipur Development Authority's (JDA) decision to seal the Rajasthan Samagra Seva Sangh premises. The committee would fight to get the land belonging to Rajasthan Samagra Seva Sangh (RSSS) back, social and political activist Aruna Roy said today in a press conference here... The committee would be comprised conveners of People's Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL), Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS), Centre for Dalit Rights, All India Democratic Women's Association, RSSS, and Radha Kant would be its state convener, Roy said. Roy further alleged that the new BJP government in Rajasthan has deliberately attacked the RSSS under a conspiracy to curb the voice of NGOs. "The Rajasthan government has mala fide intentions to attack not only the RSSS, but all those NGOs who used to raise their voices against government's decisions," Roy said. Attacking the Raje government, Roy said that her government was acting against food security policy, MNREGA, and the interests of minorities and women..."
