Dear Mr Parrikar It is very interesting to note how you forward to the other Parrikars defence at any given time.
I will not reply in the pitch and tone that you have chosen to take. Let me just point out that before bringing out the cheering squad you should perhaps read the order more carefully. It says that 'RP2001 will be the reference document' for land use. And in the very next sentence it says 'Land use will not be contrary to RP2021'. A very nice example of government double speak. Also a very nice example of leaving a very large loophole to be interpreted as the government wills. Also please note that the order allows every single application before the freezing of the RP2021 to be processed and passed. This will include all controversial projects as well. Rather than a blanket approval, we still a mechanism to consider individual cases and hold back those that are controversial. Having said that let me add that the order is a step in the right direction. I am extremely glad that there seems to be an effort to retain the best features of the RP2021. What we need to watch is the fine print, as the example above proves.
