Cong slams Shah over his Great Nicobar project remarks

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The Congress on Tuesday slammed as "specious argument” Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks that the Great Nicobar Island Development Project will increase the country's maritime trade multiple times.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications and former environment minister Jairam Ramesh asserted that the project's “devastating ecological and social impacts are beyond doubt”.

The opposition party's attack on the government came a day after over 70 scientists, environmentalists and former bureaucrats urged the government to reconsider the Great Nicobar Island project, claiming that it is "an exploitative commercial proposal" being "wrongly portrayed as a strategic defence project".
