New Delhi: Paranoid and alarmist were just two of the words that Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh leveled at the policies of the Home Ministry as he spoke at a Climate Change conference in China.
In an embarrassment for the UPA, Ramesh said that the Ministry's policies towards Chinese companies could harm the post-Copenhagen warming of ties between the neighbours.
Ramesh's comments came in the backdrop of reports that India had barred the import of telecom equipment from Chinese firm Huawei for installation in border areas because of security concerns.
