The decommissioned French war ship Clemenceau has been recalled by the French president Jacques Chirac, four day prior to his visit to India.
If you think, it is because Chirac realized that the ship is laden with toxic asbestos, or it is because India's supreme court has ruled that the ship should not enter India as it is toxic or it is the fruit of the hard work carried out by Greenpeace and other human right, environmental and health NGOs against Clemenceau, it means you have been fooled.
The reason for the withdrawal of the ship is that, Jacques Chirac wants to avoid embarrassment when his visit to India starts today.
Don't joke that Chirac came to know about the toxic materials just now. The same French government only, which has recalled the ship now, had cleared the ship for dismantling in the ship breaking yards at Alang, India few months back.
How does it suddenly come to know that it's laden with toxic, that too just four days before the French president's visit to India?
The hasty decision clearly shows that this was done to avoid embarrassment for Chirac during his visit to India.
The irony is that nowadays the D-3 (Disgusting 3 - U.S.A, England and France, as I call it), never cares about other world countries. The D-3 doesn't seem to know that if a bullet pierces a man's heart he will die, regardless of whether he is a citizen or not of the D-3. They don't seem to know that usage of nuclear weapon by Israel or any other nation will cause damage beyond the wildest of the wild dreams of a normal man. They don't seem to know that wherever a ship having asbestos is dismantled, it might cause cancer. To them the World means U.S.A., England and France.
At this juncture, I want to make a mention about the hard work done by Greenpeace for bringing into notice about Clemenceau and it's campaign against Clemenceau dismantling at Gujarat. Without it, the ship would have been dismantled without a ruffle at the ship breaking yards of Gujarat.
Hats off Greenpeace, We are proud of you.

The most embarrasing thing for our Indians is that we don't know what would be the after effects of this?
If we could have spotted it down we might have avoided all these chaos. Hope that we will not repeat this in future.
I feel the ship was recalled to avoid protests and the awkward situation that arises during the Frecnh President's visit to India.Because, that won't be the right atmosphere for conducting bilateral talks.
One more thing we have to look into is that the cost of keeping the ship ashore in a situation where it is most unlikely to be allowed to enter India.
Good job Greenpeace
