This is witch hunt!

I am amazed at what the babu's in UP administration will do at the biding of the incumbent administration. When Mulayam Singh was in power they approved this land purchase whose whole purpose was to get Amitabh declared a farmer so that he could purchase farm land in Maharashtra.
Now that it is Mayawati in power they are going to any lengths to get after him. The Rs. 700 stamp duty evasion is case in point.
I believe the law that disallows citizens to buy farm land itself is stupid. If farmers can purchase any land they like (on incomes on which they do not pay any tax), why this discrimination for urban tax payers.
In any case this with hunt against Mr Amitabh Bachchan should stop. Of course he has invited this upon himself by associating with politicians rather than do what he does best, ACT!
