New Delhi: Veteran social activist Anna Hazare will sit on a protest at Jantar Mantar from Monday against the ordinance on Land Acquisition Bill.
Earlier on Sunday, he had called for the Land Ordinance Bill to be taken back, adding that the government should instead look out for ways to improve the condition of the farmers.
A group of farmers who began marching from Haryana's Palwal on Friday will join Hazare at the venue on Monday to demand withdrawal of amendments to the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
Hazare had earlier lashed out at the BJP-led government for removing provisions, which provided taking the farmers' consent before acquiring their land.
