Bijapur: The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Act is against principals of the Constitution of India. It is an attempt to create a separate land in the State that would be out of government control, said advocate J. Kijjhar.

Speaking at a seminar on Special Economic Zone Act, 2005, organised by the Democratic Advocates Centre at Anjuman Law College here recently, he said the Act was against 21 laws enacted under Industrial Disputes Act of the Government of India.

Impact of Act

It would have an awful impact on the labour class as they would not have any job guarantee, and the tax paid by people would be misused for providing water, electricity, transport and other basic to industries, Mr. Kijjhar said.

Speaking on the social, political and economic impact of the Act, Raitha Krishi Karmika Sanghatane State secretary H. V. Diwakar said Nandigram and Singur agitations had proved that the Act was “anti-people”.

Anjuman Law College principal V.B. Masuthi presided over the seminar. Lecturers R.A. Patil, H.G. Mulla, B.T. Hattarki, K.M. Kudalagi and others were present.
