Not only has China barred India entering NSG or the UN security council, their gameplan is on in the field of cooperatives as well with the chance of NCUI President Chandra Pal Singh having almost receded into the background.
While the Indian side is working in the name of the cooperative ideals , the Chinese contingent are clear about what they want and would have everything their way at all costs. The two time President of ICA A-P Mr Li Chunsheng , Indian Cooperative has learnt , has refused to vacate the top post even for the third time.
NCUI President Chandra Pal did not force his way and was content accepting the Vice-Chairmanship thereby disappointing millions of cooperators in the country. Indian cooperators gripe “we claim to represent the strongest movement in the world but are not able to get our due in Asia-Pacific, let alone the global level”.
Angered by what is happening at the meet, cooperators call ICA nothing more than an NGO out to fool people.” See what they do; they collect money from you in the form of registration, ask you to sponsor their lunch and dinner but would support China that deposits the highest amount in the coffers of the organization. This is synonymous with making a mockery of democracy in cooperative, cooperators said asking their names not to be identified.
Indian Cooperative has learnt that Chandra Pal withdrew tactically as he saw little chance of winning. Even
South Korea is already with China with Bangladesh being neutral so far. It is only Japan with a huge number of votes (25) which has stood solidly with India. But with India’s stand wilting in the heat of Chinese shenanigans, Japan remains isolated.
ICA A-P has 285 voters and China which has mere 17 votes (India has 25 votes with IFFCO alone having 12 votes) has been able to buy support. Democracy has gone for a toss as Third World has yet to transcend the dreams of avarice in money matters, said a cooperator explaining anomalies in the election.
