17 August 2007

Mumbai: Protestors, including senior Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi, courted arrest in Navi Mumbai as part of the ''jail bharo andolan'' to protest the Mahamumbai SEZ of Reliance group in Raigad district of Maharashtra.

"Shiv Sena would support the poor farmers whose land is being acquired forcibly by the Maharashtra government," Joshi said , adding the agitation would be further intensified if the state government did not amend the land acquisition policy for SEZs.

The former Lok Sabha Speaker said he will raise the issue of SEZ in the on-going monsoon session of Parliament.
