New Delhi: Lashing out at Jairam Ramesh, chief minister VS Achuthanandan said 'Is Ramesh, who poses himself as a person seriously concerned over environmental issues, not living in this country to be unaware of the grievous problems caused by endosulfan in places like Kasargode ?'.'Not only in 11 panchayats in Kerala but also parts of Karnataka, from where Ramesh hails, are suffering from the harmful effects of endosulfan,' he said in a statement in Thiruvananthapuram.
'Ramesh has always claimed that he is deeply concerned about environmental issues. But his stand on the endosulfan issue exposed his environmental concerns as mere hypocrisy.
Again and again demanding for more proof would be deplorable,' Achuthanandan said.
'Through this self-deception, Ramesh has insulted the very position of the Union Environment Minister he holds', he said.
Kerala Health Minister P K Sreemathy, who today led an all-party delegation to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue, said no firm assurance had been given by the Centre on banning endosulfan.
'The Prime Minister said the state would be informed of the Centre's stand after examining the study reports and allied documents on the issue', Sreemathy said in New Delhi.
