I want to share the exploitation of feudal
on the name of tenant last year Govt. of Punjab have passed a bill (The
Punjab Conferment of Proprietary Rights on Occupancy Tenants and Muqarraridars
Act 2012). It’s not fulfilled the rights of peasant and tenants for land
distribution its only provide the rights to feudal land lords. Basically this
is the forwardness of feudal land lord that passed this bill from assembly with
great intrigue for their own rights but mentioned the word of Tenants in
heading but no any talk about tenants in postscript of Act. So it is great
badinage on the name of tenants. The term they use in Act MUQARRARIDARS, mean those feudal that, British Empire provide
0.4 million acre land for cultivation and appointed these feudal as caretaker (MUQARRARIDAR)
from the partition to till today these feudal land lord are possession
of the land and cultivating this 0.4 million acre land and now they want to
register this land with their own name because of this they mobilize and
exploit to Punjab Assembly on the name of tenants. So enforcement of this law
is meaningless for tenant & peasant rights in Punjab. Under this law
peasant of Punjab cannot claim right of land ownership.
DASE have suggested that we should be
present a new law for pure tenant & peasant rights of Punjab and presented to
Punjab government as recommendation of peasant and tenants of Punjab.
