Rajnath alleges foreign pressure

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Overlooking the opinion of oceanographers, environmentalists, hydrologists and experts on aquatic creatures, the United Progressive Alliance government was bent upon implementing the Sethusamudram project under foreign pressure, BJP president Rajnath Singh said at a party demonstration here on Tuesday.

Mr. Singh said even the Father of the Nation led his entire life following the path shown by Ram, and “Ram Rajya” was his grand political vision. But the UPA government tried to even deny the existence of Ram, he alleged.

“Sentiments hurt”

Claiming that the UPA government was only interested in hurting the sentiments of Hindus, he said scientists were against undertaking the channel project as it would destroy maritime wealth and lead to the death of innumerable creatures.

The BJP president said that the UPA government would face disastrous consequences if the Ram Sethu was destroyed.
