Meanwhile, the ‘Campaign for Survival and Dignity’ has condemned the petitions. In a statement issued after the court directions, they said: “The petitions show a deliberate effort to distort, obfuscate and confuse the issues in the Act. They paint this Act as a land distribution measure that will result in forest destruction, whereas the law is very clearly concerned with resources and rights that are already being exercised — that is, no land is being distributed, and no one will receive rights to any land that they are not already cultivating as on December 13, 2005.”
