HAZARE SHOOTS LETTER AGAINST RANE ON LAVASA SCAM
From Our Delhi Bureau
NEW DELHI: Noted 72-year old social activist Anna Hazare has written to the Prime Minister threatening to return his Padma Bhushan unless he orders a thorough probe into the creation of the Lavasa hill station, depriving the poor tribals of their land. He has also threatened to go on a hunger strike on November 11 against the project.
“Builders, politicians and ministers have cheated poor tribes for Lavasa. The rules made for the protection of environment have been violated for creation of the first hill station developed since Independence,” says the letter, stressing that the high celebrities are occupying it without even the necessary completion certificates.
Hazare has alleged that Maharashtra revenue minister Narayan Rane is protecting Lavasa because NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s daughter and son-in-law are alleged partners in the project.
