Jairam Ramesh

Kolkata: Former Union Environment Minister and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday accused the Narendra Modi government of weakening and tweaking environment laws to favour industries. "All the environmental laws are being weakened and diluted. Ministry of Environment has become a rubber stamp body. In the name of ease of doing business, it is being tweaked to favour industry," he said here on the sidelines of a session at the Tata Steel Kolkata Literary Meet.
