Speaking at state environment ministers' conference, Modi said, "A debate based on facts and truth is welcome. After all it is a democracy. But when truth lacks weight, you (opposition) spread lies. A country is not run like this."
Referring to provisions of the land bill, he said these do not touch tribal and forest land but "people who lack knowledge run this (campaign against the proposed legislation) round the clock".
He said there were efforts to "mislead" the society on the issue. "For you it must be a small issue, a matter of your political principles, but do realize how much it will hurt the country," he said.
The land bill, which was passed in Lok Sabha with nine official amendments, faces a tough task in Rajya Sabha where the NDA does not have a majority. Having failed to achieve any breakthrough for its passage in the Upper House, the government re-promulgated the ordinance last week.
