PANJIM: NGO Orixtt Porjecho Avaz (OPV) has demanded immediate cancellation or withdrawal of DefExpo and Aero India shows from Naqueri-Betul Panchayat area, failing which it has threatened to intensify the agitation against the government.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, OPV spokesperson Freddy Fernandes has countered Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s statement that the Ministry has not acquired any land and that the Defexpo would be an annual affair for five days.
“I would like to ask the Defence Minister, if there will be no permanent structures why does he request the CM 150 acres of land inclusive of 10,000 ft runway along?”
