Protests at 10,000 points against diluting MGNREGA, NFSA

The Hindu  

The All India Agricultural Workers Union has decided to hold nationwide protests at 10,000 centres demanding proper implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and the National Food Security Act. A working committee meeting of the AIAWU, held here on Thursday, also decided oppose the move to link MGNREGA job cards with Aadhaar number, saying that it was leading to exclusion of poor people from accessing jobs. “But instead of doing this, the Centre is backtracking from providing subsidised food articles,” Mr. Vijayaraghavan said. Mr. Venkat said the move to link MGNREGA job cards with Aadhaar was dangerous.
