Vinuta Gopal says : " In Madhya Pradesh we saved the Mahan forest from being destroyed.
This was a coal block for Essar. The environment ministry agreed with us that the forest should be protected." Indeed it is true that the MOEFCC declared the Mahan Forest as "inviolate". Then why the big animosity towards Greenpeace , when both MOEFCC and Greenpeace were on the same page ? Greenpeace need not always be dead right but in this case at least why can't the MOEFCC gracefully accept that the NGO had a strong point. Thanks to their agitation one of the largest Sal forests in N India with half a million trees was saved. Give them credit for this campaign at least.
Greenpeace activists playing in the hand of foreign hand to stop the progress in India. 1st they will stop progress, then they will make us beg for food, then they convert Hindus. That way many foreign religion spreading in Tamilnadu, Orissa, Karnataka. Now Kerala completely converted.

Then what explains the BJP's success in the municipal elections? Votes of people converted to foreign religions?
why blame home ministry and your pet target Govt. of India? If they have done wrong go to the court of the land. If your argument holds water court will give reprieve why cry?
The NGO does not help to give workable, economical alternate to Govt. instead try to create hurdle in Govt. Short plan of immediate public amenities development.The NGO can help also in long term plan like renewal energy over which govt. is already working.
01. Clean Rivers 02. Vehicular Pollution 03. Solid Waste Disposal for Toxic Material 04. Effluent Management from Industries 05. Noise Pollution in Public Places
Instead of these priorities, Greenpeace started demonstration against coal mining and uranium mining. Any resistance which comes in the way of development of India will not be tolerated.
These guys should attend my lectures on sustainability.

good word and objectives are their cover to collect money and act against the country's development on the behest of foreigners or say foreign powers, who have contributed Pollution the most per person in their land and now blackmailing India through such ignorant people who are working for them . just to disrupt Indian progress. Still India is contributing much lower pollution per person as compared to developed countries in the World. So the ban on such organisations are essential for the development of India.

No, if development requires cutting of forests, it has to be done. Counter the tree cutting with planting 1,000 fast growing saplings and sponsor maintenance. Besides, per capita carbon footprint in Western countries is enormous as compared to India. What Greenpeace is doing about it ? I have not seen a single promotion by them to conserve fuel and energy in the West. Neither the car population is reduced nor air conditioning nor lighting.
If they are really interested, they can start afresh and follow all legal procedure. Abandon Green Greed and create a new org. Continue the activism. There are tons of other orgs which continue to operate. Ther are many others that got shut down. What is so specail about this org that media is highlighting it?

Anyone working against the development of India, are the enemy of the state. They will not be dealt with the court, but the NSA and NSG.
