At Bhatta-Parsaul, no faith in govt's 'land'mark bill?
Less than 48 hours before Parliament is expected to take up the Land Acquisition Bill, a protest turned violent in Noida after angry villagers set fire to an officer's car. It brought back memories of the 2011 Bhatta-Parsaul agitation in western Uttar Pradesh. Even today, those wounds are still fresh. Four people were killed in police action that followed after villagers held hostage three employees of the Uttar Pradesh Road Transport Corporation during Mayawati's regime.
