Heard About The New Land Bill? These Adivasis Decided To Shit On It To Protest


Protests and debates have always been a feature of land acquisition bills and acts, since its amendment in 2013 by the UPA or the ordinance which was brought into effect in December 2014. With the ordinance lapsing on April 5, 2015, the Modi government is anxious to pass the Land Acquisition Bill 2015. Unfortunately, the Opposition is relentless in their, well, opposition to the bill and various interest groups are openly protesting the new bill. Beating all imagination though, a group of adivasis in Jharkhand have taken giving-a-shit to a whole new level. Quite literally.



They sat in a line and took a major dump on copies of the Land Acquisition ordinance.

National Convener of the National Campaign for Adivasi Rights (NCAR), Abhay Xaxa, whose Facebook page the pictures have been sourced from, told The The Indian Express that defecation as a method of protest was suggested by some of the younger members of NCAR.
