Ramesh, who had the independent charge of the ministry between 2009 and 2011, said the “Environment Minister must stand up and say that climate change is more important than Ease of Doing Business”.

The job of the Environment Minister is to protect the environment and not look at it from the perspective of Ease of Doing Business, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said during a discussion on climate change in Rajya Sabha on Thursday. With Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar present in House, Ramesh, who had the independent charge of the ministry between 2009 and 2011, said the “Environment Minister must stand up and say that climate change is more important than Ease of Doing Business”.

The discussion took place after SP’s Revati Raman Singh called the House’s attention to the situation arising out of climate change and steps taken by the government about it.

Ramesh was one of the 18 members of the House who spoke on the topic. He wondered how the government could “be serious on climate change if you are going to liberalise all your environmental policies”. He also alleged that the government is “weakening The Forest (Conservation) Act” and “neglecting The Forest Rights Act”. The government, he said, had also “liberalised the Coastal Regulation Zone”.

“You are looking at environmental laws from the perspective of Ease of Doing Business,” he said to treasury benches. He said that “we have an Environment Minister who every day says” that he has “cleared a thousand projects” and the ministry “is no longer a bottleneck to industrial expansion”.
