Click to play videoNew Delhi: The UPA is in a bind whether or not to publicly acknowledge what its experts are saying: that the controversial Ram Sethu is not a man-made structure.
Agreeing with the political script of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, an expert panel has made its findings known to the Government.
But UPA cannot go with simple scientific reasoning and is buying time to study various options by setting up a Group of Ministers (GoM).
The GoM comprises top politicians like Kapil Sibal, Pranab Mukherjee, H R Bhardwaj, P Chidambaram, Ambika Soni and T R Baalu and will find ways of deferring any decision that polarises opinions.
Already, the experts by insisting Ram Sethu is not man-made have ensured that the Archaeological Survey of India is kept out from the process of finding solutions to the problem.
In less than a fortnight, the Supreme Court will list the matter again and for the Government, a tightrope walk on the Ram Sethu is turning out to be a difficult proposition.
