In an exclusive interview to Asian News International (ANI), Narendra Modi said that he has written a letter to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on this issue and expressed his concern over the Food Security Ordinance in its current form. “I studied the ordinance in detail and I found a lot of important things which needed to be addressed and so I wrote a letter to the Prime Minister.u00a0

And in that letter I highlighted the casual approach of the Government’s Food Security Bill towards the poor people,” he told ANI here today. Modi said that the Government has only publicized this Food Security Bill claiming that it will guarantee food to the poor people but the ground reality is that this bill only confirms that food will be snatched away from the beneficiaries. “The Food Security bill is not a guarantee that poor people will get food, on the contrary it is giving a confirmation of taking away their food.
