Opposing FDI in the retail sector, activist Anna Hazare today said the move would lead to enslavement of the countrymen and will not benefit the farmers as claimed by the government.
“If people are saying it (FDI) should not happen, why are you insisting? The British came to India to trade and for 150 years, ruled us, enslaved us. Do you want to have a repeat?” he told a press conference here this evening.
“They (the foreign investors) will spoil the water and the environment. The government should consider this,” he said.
