The students of Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai boycotted Environ minister, Jairam Ramesh, over the adamant approach of the Manmohan Singh government, which cleared the controvercial Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project. The students pointed out that the scientifically and technically more advanced states like USA and Japan were unable to safeguard the nuclear plants in the event of tragedies. They pointed out that Indians lagged so much behind that they could not even trace the illfated chopper of a CM for days together. Our political system is corrupt, inefficient and lithargic and have no proven history of tackling disasters, which were predictable. Due to our corrupt system, managers are forced to cut corners in safety measures. With this background, it is impossible that we will be able to handle nuclear dissasters. What has hppened in Mumbai is a trend setter. The question is when will our students, artists, sportsmen and others start refusing awards and honours in the hands of our Mines Minister, Digamber Kamat who has converted east Goa into a GRANG CANYON?
