Newsclick interviewed D. Raghunandan, from All India People's Science Network and former member of the Low Carbon Path Committee of India's Planning Commission on the letter by the Chief Economic Advisor to India, Arvind Subramanian to the Prime Minister of India. Raghu said, Arvind is completely moving away from the long time stand by India and advising to be part of US interests. He argues there should be distinction while considering the developed countries as opposed to the developing countries as far as emission controls are concerned. Raghunandan suggests the letter is completely masking the role of the US in the past. He emphasised that the principle - "Those who are responsible for pollution is also responsible for clean it up" - should be the way forward. He also pointed out the false promises made by the US several times before.
