Government on Tuesday rejected Opposition charge of compromising with the country's interests at Copenhagen climate meet, insisting that the Accord will in no way affect India's sovereignty. Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh, said in the Rajya Sabha that the government had digressed from its pre-Copenhagen assurance on one aspect that is allowing provision for international consultation and analysis rather than just informing the UNFCCC about domestic mitigation programmes. <br/><br/>The minister argued that India had to be flexible as it, along with China, Brazil and South Africa, did not want to be responsible for failure of the meet and be blame boys. Allaying fears on the provision of consultations, Ramesh said, India had decades of experience on such discussions with IMF and WTO and no sovereignty has been eroded.<br/><br/>While seeking clarifications, BJP, CPI (M) and CPI dubbed the Copenhagen Accord as disappointing, a compromise document and an attempt to jettison the Kyoto Protocol and Bali Action Plan. Equating the Copenhagen Accord with Sharm-el Sheikh Indo-Pak Joint Statement, Leader of Opposition Arun Jaitley said the government is trying to interpret the Accord differently by engaging in spin doctoring. <br/><br/>Jairam Ramesh made light of comments by White House senior adviser David Axelrod that the Copenhagen Accord had bound India to cutting emissions, saying the remarks were that of a "spin doctor" aimed at domestic consumption. He said, Copenhagen is not a destination but the beginning of a long process adding that there are indeed many risks, many hazards, many threats and New Delhi has to be extraordinarily vigilant and careful, negotiating tough but always from a position of strength. The Minister however added that the troika of UNFCC, Bali Action Plan and Kyoto Protocol are sacrosanct and India is not moving away from it in any manner. <br/>
