New Delhi: There is a new twist to the Ram Setu controversy. The Coast Guards Director General has told that the Sethusamudram project poses security threat to India.
Vice Admiral Contractor was echoing remarks similar to those made by the Navy Chief, Admiral Sureesh Mehta, recently. His statement comes at a time when the BJP is opposing the project tooth and nail, insisting that it will damage a precious historical heritage.
On the other hand Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi has made it a prestige issue. His party says the Sethusamundram is not a man-made structure.
The Archaeological Survey of India had earlier corroborated the DMK’s stand.
However, the Coast Guard Chief’s remarks are expected to give the BJP fresh ammunition on the Setusamudram project.
