Will the government take Ram Setu to ASI and show its hand?
Is the government’s policy on Ram Setu about to be put to test?
There is a good chance it will be after the Supreme Court asks the UPA government to consider holding an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) investigation to ascertain whether Ram Setu is indeed an “ancient monument”. A bench headed by Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan asked the government to explore “the possibility of carrying out the project through any other channels (alignments).”
The UPA government’s policy of vacillating in the extreme on Ram Setu (not knowing whether it would lead to appeasement or alienation) has led to the Court to demand more consistency on issues such as Ram Setu, even while acknowledging that it is nearly impossible to lay down guidelines of any kind in a democracy.
Not surprisingly, the court’s order has been welcomed by all those who are opposed to the dismantling of Ram Setu. Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy, a petitioner in the case, said the government could not ignore the directive in light of the recent Madras High Court order. The next hearing is on July 22. In the interregnum, the Bench said the Centre could consider both these aspects, just as the High Court directed on June 19 of last year. Appearing for the Centre, senior advocate Fali S. Nariman agreed with the court’s current stand.
Arguing against the demolition, senior advocate C.S. Vaidyanathan and others involved contended that there was a possibility of going ahead with the project through alternative alignments if and when needed.
Interestingly though Sri Lankan authorities could drag India to the International Court of Justice on the plea that the entire project is an environmental threat to both countries involved.Let's see if this gap can be ‘bridged’?!
