    "content": "compulsory acquisition of land in public interest. So, on that ground we rejected that amendment from the Senate. Clause 38 which was amended by the Senate is on mineral rights in community land. The amendment prefers to use the word “unregistered” in reference to community land rather than the word “alienated”. We liked this amendment because it provides more clarity on the consent to be given by the National Land Commission (NLC) on issues of community land, in which they also have some role constitutionally. On this basis we felt that the word they used, “unregistered,” is what is in the Constitution and on that basis we agreed with the Senate. Clause 40 was also amended by the Senate. It refers to conditions attaching to mineral rights. The amendments refer to specific sections of a particular law which is basically the Land Act and is in reference to compulsory acquisition of land. Section 40(c) argues that this law should address the issue regarding compulsory acquisition of land, which is in our Constitution. In fact, we need to have a universal law covering all aspects of compulsory acquisition of land by the State instead of having a section of one law pertaining to this. On this ground we rejected it."
