excerpt:

....from the “Response to Tharoor from S. Faizi, Environmental Expert
Member, Kerala Groundwater Authority”:

    “I have read with interest your response to the Plachimada Struggle

that carries your PR material. I do not have a grain of opposition to

to be in places like that. However, I am writing this public response to
you in order to address the misinformation contained in your letter,
outdoing even the PR staff of the company, and the unwarranted sweeping
remarks you have made on Kerala development..."
