Only a day after the Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh (above) was reported to have pushed for New Delhi to accept emission curbs, he was put in place by the Prime Minister’s Office, The Economic Times reports.

Late on Monday evening, lead members of the Indian climate negotiating team addressed the Prime Minister’s Office conveying their inability to continue to be part of India’s official team, since they were not in line with their environment minister.
