The Prime Minister's statement, in an interview to the prestigious journal Science, attributing anti-nuclear protests at Kudankulam to non-governmental organisations based in the United States, has stirred a familiar hornet's nest, that of 'the foreign under hand'.
The foreign under hand of the CIA was of course frequently deployed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to deflect attention from domestic problems and, most memorably, to justify the imposition of the Emergency.
It is deeply ironical coming from a Prime Minister whose government's policies can be divided into two handy categories: those, such as employment guarantee and food security, that have the imprint of the Congress's aam aadmi hand symbol; and those, such as its economic and nuclear policies, that bear the generous imprint of the foreign under hand.
