    "content": " I am at a loss. I need guidance on what we are amending in the principal Act yet there is reference to full compensation. I do not know what amendments we are making. Secondly, I just want to bring in a fundamental issue of compulsory land acquisition, which falls in the realm of eminent domain, where somebody is deprived of his property, but the Constitution has safeguards, full and just compensation. My colleagues who want to oppose the amendment re-emphasising full compensation do not value the lives of the people who are being deprived because here is an involuntary loss of your land. You have not made any alternative arrangements to get an alternative place of aboard. Just like what the Government is doing in the procurement process, it cannot procure for a good service unless it has made commitment for the funds. The funds are already secured waiting for the completion of the process before payment is done. We do not want the wanton and the miserable suffering land owners have been subjected to in this country."
