I find it really ridiculous that US President George Bush and also Condolezza Rice say that India is responsible for the global food shortage. How can our country be blamed for it? There is a shortage of food rains in our country itself!
Thanks to the collapse of the Public Distribution System in our country many food grains are unable to reach people who fall under the Below Poverty Line (BPL). thanks to the rising inflation people cannot even afford the basic fruits and vegetables! and here bush talks about our country being a major culprit! Our country is used to having famines and starvation deaths especially in rural areas who do not have access to even one meal a day.
Earlier also he had made a silly statement saying that India and China are responsible for the rising oil prices. uf…When will Mr. Bush use his brains and speak some sense!
If he is so concerned about food shortage, why doesn’t he prevent countries like Thailand who plan to form a rice cartel? he rice cartel would be a group of exclusive countries who would be involved in the trading of rice between each other only or people whom they like.
