'Foreign 手渡す is 支援する': In throwback to Indira Gandhi 時代, PM 非難するs U.S. and European ロビーs for 基金ing anti-核の 抗議するs

By Dinesh C Sharma

Taking a leaf out of Indira Gandhi's 調書をとる/予約する, 総理大臣 Manmohan Singh has exhumed the 'foreign 手渡す' bogey 非難するing it for putting the ブレーキs on both the Kudankulam 核の 力/強力にする 事業/計画(する) in Tamil Nadu and the commercialisation of GM food 刈るs.

Going 弾道学の against people's groups in an interview which will appear in the 定期刊行物 Science on Friday, Singh 申し立てられた/疑わしい that NGOs …に反対するd to the 核の 力/強力にする 事業/計画(する) were 基金d by foreign countries.

In the 1970s, Indira Gandhi used to conveniently 非難する the 'foreign 手渡す' for all ills 疫病/悩ますing her 任期 as 総理大臣. She even 正当化するd the 課税 of 緊急 on this pretext.

Pointing the finger: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has opened up a hornet's nest by accusing foreign powers of meddling in India's domestic affairs

Pointing the finger: 総理大臣 Manmohan Singh has opened up a hornet's nest by 告発する/非難するing foreign 力/強力にするs of 干渉 in India's 国内の 事件/事情/状勢s

While never 現実に identifying the foreign 手渡す, the country she was mostly pointing the finger at was America. In fact, Congressmen - even under her son Rajiv - 的d the 中央情報局 for every (選挙などの)運動をする against them and for ne arly every 失敗 to 支配(する)/統制する 法律 and order.

In the UPA 政府, however,this is the first time that the highest 当局 has raised the 問題/発行する of 'foreign money' propelling 国内の movements and has cast aspersions on civil society groups …に反対するd to the 核の 工場/植物.

Till now, such 主張s had been flung only by 比較して junior functionaries in the 政府. This is also the first time that the 政府 has 指名するd the U.S. and Scandinavian countries as the source of foreign 基金ing of NGOs behind the antinuclear 動かす in Tamil Nadu and anti-GM movement in different parts of the country.

INDIRA SAID THAT TOO

Indira Gandhi

Late 総理大臣 Indira Gandhi was known for using the 'foreign 手渡す' bogey extensively.

She 報道によれば 非難するd all ills afflicting India on the 'foreign 手渡す', which in those days usually meant U.S. 秘かに調査する 機関 the 中央情報局.

Not surprisingly, India’s アイロンをかける Lady 特記する/引用するd the foreign 手渡す to 宣言する the 悪名高い
緊急 in 1975.

事実上 宣言するing a war on civil society 行動主義者s, Singh said: 'The 原子の energy programme has run into difficulties because these NGOs, mostly I think based in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs, don't 高く評価する/(相場などが)上がる the need for our country to 増加する energy 供給(する).'

The PM was alluding to the 立ち往生させるd (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限ing of the 1,000-MW, ロシアの-補佐官d Kudankulam 核の 力/強力にする 工場/植物.

Continuing his scathing attack on voluntary 団体/死体s for …に反対するing the 政府's pet 事業/計画(する)s, the PM 観察するd: 'There are NGOs, often 基金d from the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and Scandinavian countries, which are not fully appreciative of the 開発 challenges that our country 直面するs.'

Sin gh 支援するd his 政府's 解決する to develop 核の 力/強力にする 同様に as 生物工学 in India, にもかかわらず the 対立 from さまざまな 4半期/4分の1s.

He said he saw a major 役割 for 核の energy even after the Fukushima 核の 災害 in Japan in March 2011.

'The thinking segment of our 全住民 is certainly supportive of 核の energy,' the 総理大臣 was 引用するd as 説 in the interview.

The 定期刊行物 is published by the American 協会 for 進歩 of Science. Till now the tirade against NGOs was led by 大臣 of 明言する/公表する in PMO V. Narayansamy, who recently 申し立てられた/疑わしい that civil society groups behind the Kudankulam agitation had received foreign 基金ing. But when S.P. Udayakumar - the man spearheading the agitation - slapped a 合法的な notice on the 大臣, he backtracked.

Will he now 告訴する the 総理大臣 because he had made 類似の noises? Udayakumar, the 調整者/コーディネーター of the People's Movement Against 核の Energy, said he would consider all 選択s.

PM Statements

'The PM's 声明 is 完全にする falsehood. We are not 基金d by any foreign source. The 省 of home 事件/事情/状勢s knows this because it has audited 財政上の 記録,記録的な/記録するs of 得点する/非難する/20s of NGOs and Church-(v)提携させる(n)支部,加入者d organisations in Kanyakumari, Nagercoil and Tuticorin in the past f ew weeks and 設立する no 証拠,' Udayakumar pointed out.

'It is surprising why the PM is 辞退するing to 認める that the people of this country have a mind of their own,' he 追加するd.

The 発言/述べるs evoked a sharp 返答 from other members of the civil society 同様に.

'There isn't an iota of 証拠 that foreign 基金ing and 国家のs are 扇動するing the anti-核の agitation. It is 全く indigenous and has 深い roots の中で the people. The only foreigners in the area are ロシアの 職員/兵員 招待するd by the 核の 力/強力にする 会社/団体,' Praful Bidwai of the 連合 for 核の 軍備縮小 and Peace said.

著名な scientist Dr Pushpa Mittra Bhargava also felt amazed at the 声明: 'I am surprised the 総理大臣 believes that the U.S. will 基金 NGOs that would …に反対する 核の 力/強力にする 事業/計画(する)s and GM foods. He must surely know that the U.S. has been the biggest 支持者 of India's 投資 in 核の 力/強力にする so that it can sell its 原子炉s - for which there is no market in the U.S. - to India.'

PM Statements

In 返答 to a question on the 支払い猶予/一時停止 課すd by his 政府 on the 商業の 解放(する) of GM brinjal, Singh supported 生物工学 in 農業 while 非難するing NGOs for 立ち往生させるing the commercialisation of GM foods.

Anti-GM groups, too, 反応するd 怒って to the diatribe.

'Why is 昇進/宣伝 of GM 科学(工学)技術 by foreign 機関s not a 原因(となる) of worry for him? What is 科学の or democratic about the 政府 forming a biased opinion about GM 科学(工学)技術?' retorted Kavitha Kuruganti of the 連合 Against GM Foods.

She 明示するd that the biggest 対立 to GM 刈るs had come from 農業者s' unions, which were not foreign-基金d.

'Sadly, the foreign 手渡す in India's 国内の 政策 today is the PM himself,' green 行動主義者 Vandana Shiva said.

'People's movements are trying to 妨げる 農業者s' 自殺s, which are a result of 開始するing 負債 linked to 高くつく/犠牲の大きい seeds. We want to 促進する 維持できる 農業 that 保護(する)/緊急輸入制限s the 暮らしs of 農業者s and 栄養 of children,' she 追加するd.

Exuding scepticism, another GM food critic Devinder Sharma said: 'It is amusing to hear this talk of foreign 基金ing of NGOs from a PM whose entire 経済的な prescription is based on foreign direct 投資.

'Whether it is GM 刈るs or 核の 工場/植物s, the PM is more 利益/興味d in the 商業の 利益/興味s of American and European companies. He is not 関心d about the 環境の and human 衝撃 of these risky and unwanted 科学(工学)技術s on his people.'
