India cannot be bullied: Javadekar on US concerns ahead of Paris Climate Summit
New Delhi, Nov 29 (IBNS): Ahead of the key Paris Climate Summit that commences on Monday, Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on Sunday said India cannot be bullied while responding to US concerns over India's pace of climate change action.
"You can't bully India, the message is clear. Developed countries need to provide carbon space to developing countries,"Javadekar told NDTV.
He also said that the remarks by US Secretary of State John Kerry is "unfair".
"We will not be opposing but we will be proposing real changes needed to ensure we have balanced growth and balanced environment. There should be a durable agreement and we need to trust each other," he said.
Earlier, in an interview Kerry had praised China's role in the talks but raised concerns regarding India.
"India has been more cautious, a little more restrained in its embrace of this new paradigm, and it's a challenge," he had said.
"We've got a lot of focus on India right now to try to bring them along," he had added.
