"We will fight against the 'black' and 'unjust' ordinance on land acquisition by burning symbolic copies of it," Banerjee, Trinamool Congress supremo, said addressing a party workers' meeting in Kharagpur. "The central government has 'forcefully' brought an ordinance on land acquisition. The country is going through a dangerous phase due to the BJP government," she said.

She also referred to the Centre's plan to stop '100 Days work' programme in a bid to sell the country by bringing in FDI in insurance and defence.
