Tikait: Capitalism displacing farmers, land disputes in India
Rakesh Tikait, a farmer leader, says that big business is taking over land from small farmers in India.
He made these comments after a farmer, Manohar Kushwaha, died after protesting against the measurement of his land.
Tikait believes the land measurement was done unfairly and led to the farmer's death.
He claims it's part of a plan to take land from farmers.
An investigation into the situation has been ordered.
Rakesh Tikait claims capitalism is expanding in India, with farmers' land being transferred to industrialists.
Tikait's remarks were made after visiting the family of Manohar Kushwaha, a farmer who died after an incident involving a land measurement.
Kushwaha's family alleges he protested land measurement and subsequently died due to injuries.
Tikait alleges the land measurement occurred despite a high court stay and was a conspiracy to seize farmers' land.
An inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the matter, with a report expected within a month.
