Trinamool Congress has decided to seek total withdrawal of NDA's contentious land bill while the Biju Janata Dal sought bringing back the consent clause and Social Impact Analysis (SIA) provisions into the bill. PTI reports that the two parties have written to the Joint Committee of Parliament headed by BJP MP SS Ahluwalia in this regard. BJD among other things favours making the land losers stakeholders when land is acquired for profitable ventures. In the amendments, the BJD has pitched for bringing back the consent and SIA provisions into the bill. The Parliamentary panel on land is to meet tomorrow.<br/><br/>Congress has already written to the panel that the compensation in the law which is four times of market value in urban area and between two to four times in rural areas should be made uniform four times in all areas, a demand which the government may find difficult to accept.
