Thank God We have Dr. Subramanian Swamy to lead us!

Leaders alarmed by court remark

Swamy sees plot to sabotage Sethu

NT Bureau
Chennai, Aug 28:

Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy today alleged that UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Tamilnadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi and Union Ministers T R Baalu and Ambika Soni have planned to sabotage Ramar Sethu as they were against the court observation that the bridge should not be touched pending a hearing of a PIL.

Speaking to reporters here, Swamy said, 'I'll be approaching the Supreme Court on 31 August to seek a formal injunction against the execution of the project since the government was bent on committing this act.'

He claimed that alarmed by the Madras High Court's observation on the PIL filed against the Sethu Samudaram Canal that it should not be touched until the hearing ends on his PIL, the leaders were in a haste to destroy Ramar Sethu.

Stating that NASA had denied government's claim that it had sent an e-mail referring to Ramar Sethu as a natural formation, he said he had visited NASA in Houston, Texas, and the authorities had told him that they had never sent any such e-mail and that to infer any such fact about Sethu is a 'misrepresentation and mischievous'.

Swamy also demanded the Election Commission to set up an enquiry and investigative body to prepare an authoritative report on the hacking of Electronic Voting Machines.

On the nuclear deal, he said the agreement should be negotiated until US recognised India as a nuclear weapon State and that there was no need for signing the non-proliferation treaty which denies India access to nuclear technology.
