Jairam Ramesh a Chinese agent? Over the years Jairam Ramesh 's views on Arunachal Pradesh make for ominous reading. It is now legion that as Environment Minister he wanted a review of all existing hydel projects in the state and a halt to any new ones. He then asserted that India would not be able to construct dams on its own and should enlist Chinese expertise in its hydel projects in the state. When he was roundly criticised for his views, he wrote a letter to then PM Dr Manmohan Singh that Arunachal Pradesh “should not become a pawn in the race between India & China” as if the state was not an integral part of India. After Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra , Jairam announced in Feb this year another Rahul Yatra - this time an east-west one from Pasighat in Arunachal to Porbandar in Gujarat. In April, China “renamed” 11 places in Arunachal in a veiled assertion of sovereignty over the state. Jairam attacked PM Modi as being responsible for this Chinese action as he had “overlooked Chinese transgressions”. His charge was dismissed by an MEA spokesperson on the obvious ground that nominal assertions did not match “ground realities”. As usual Jairam was registering a feigned protest on a non issue (Chinese name changes in AP was a pathetically effete move). The nation had been very recently informed by Jairam that Rahul will now embark upon a “Bharat Nyaya Yatra” but its route will be from Manipur to Mumbai. The Yatra will not traverse Arunachal Pradesh. Some questions for Jairam : 1. Why did you change the original route of the Yatra announced by you? 2. Did you wilfully exclude Arunachal Pradesh from the Yatra’s route in view of China's renaming of 11 places in the state as a mark of its claim to the state? 3. Since you were so agitated by China's nominal aggression wasn’t it all the more incumbent on the INC to commence the Yatra in - or at least include AP - on the Yatra route as a sign of solidarity with the people of that state? 4. Do you agree that China fuels insurgency in the North East and funds/arms insurgency in Manipur? 5. Has it struck you - at least as a possibility - that the Manipur violence earlier this year could have a Chinese hand in it? 6. Did you personally have any role in the decision of the INC to enter into an MOU with the CCCP in 2008? 7. Are you in any event aware of its contents? 8. Does the MOU contain a clause that the INC recognise Chinese sovereignty over Arunachal Pradesh? 9. Do you believe that it was legal for an Indian political party that was in power at the Centre in 2008 to enter into an MOU with the CCCP which is synonymous with the Chinese State that illegally occupies since 1962 a huge swathe of Indian territory? 10. In any event should this MOU not be made public on the principle of transparency which you and your party wax eloquent about?
