On November 12th the Environment Minister Mr Jairam Ramesh went on to say that it was "criminal" to use SUVs in India. He went on to name German Automakers, specifically Mercedes Benz and BMW for manufacturing such cars in India.
The German Ambassador to India Thomas Matussek responded to Mr Ramesh's statement by rightly saying that German Automakers have "the most outstanding expertise in engine development and is proud to have some of the most sustainable car companies in the world who have pioneered in CO2 emission cuts...., attributed widely to a variety of fuel saving and emissions-reducing measures....".
Now that is clearly a well cut out reply. But just look in your own backyard Mr Ramesh. The leaders of this country like the Prime Minister of India, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and numerous others all use a more crude form of an SUV called a Tata Safari, a car whose emission standards are way below that of German SUVs.
So according to Mr Ramesh it's alright for national leaders to pollute our environment with a crude excuse for an SUV while better cars are labelled to be "criminal."
What a pathetic joke.
