Press Statement Issued by the
Right to Food Campaign on the National Food Security Bill on 6th May, 2013 at
the Press Club of India, N Delhi
The Right to
Food Campaign is deeply concerned at the paradox of hunger and malnutrition
preying on millions of people in this country even as FCI godowns continue to
overflow with grain. In this light, the campaign is chagrined that the
Government's flagship initiative in the form of the National Food Security Bill
(NFSB) is yet to be passed. This betrays the inhuman apathy of our rulers and
the system to the plight of the hungry and the malnourished dying a slow death.
The ruling Congress party had promised a food security bill in its manifesto
prior to the 2009 General Elections and this was also announced as one of the
priorities of the UPA government in the President's speech on 2nd June 2009. As
we come close to the end of the term of the 15th Lok Sabha, the Bill is yet to
be discussed in Parliament.
