Milind Deora Doubts Neha Kumar

Milind Deora is an honorable minister in the Union Cabinet. He is also the young, dynamic, and widely accepted face of a new kind of progressive & honest politics in India. He also happens to be the Minister of State for IT & Communications. When Milind Deora gets involved in something, he is thorough, complete, unbiased, and direct. He is one of those leaders that leads by example, and is unafraid of calling a spade a spade.

In May 2012, a presentation was made to him that was entitled 'Mobile Tower Radiation Hazards & Solutions. This presentation was made by none other than professor Girish Kumar, who, along with his daughter, Anna University Science graduate Neha Kumar; have been propagating & alleging that cell phone towers cause harmful radiation. They have even been crusading across the country, both in the virtual space and real world, saying that this radiation is so harmful, it can cause health problems for people. And hence, a large part of their propaganda was part of this presentation.

Now, a lot has been made about this father-daughter's constant smear-campaign against radiation. We have all read and now know for a fact that their entire campaign is based on a lie, at least on a grossly incorrect assumption – that is, that cell phone radiation causes ill-health. Why is it a lie? Because they claim that microwave radiation causes damage to humans, which is does. The crucial fact is that cell phone towers don't even emit microwave radiation. They emit harmless, weak Radio Frequency!

Not to mention that fact that everyone in the general public has seen through the Kumar game now. Because it is their own company Wilcom, which is selling products that 'contain' this alleged radiation over-spill. A company whose products have not even been certified by the relevant governing bodies! Its like bringing a car into the market that has not been tested and homologated!

Mr.Milind Deora too, has seen through this entire sham. He has replied strongly and questioned the Kumars on their claims. In fact, in many of his public tweets, he has expressed serious concerns on the veracity of the Kumars claims, and pointed out their obvious profiteering from their company.

• does your family sell "solutions" for cell tower radiation? If so, your advocacy is a major conflict of interest

• If you charge for measurements, like telecom companies, you also have a vested interest & should have disclosed that

Thanks to responsible ministers such as Milind Deora, we have seen the truth. And the truth is, that Neha Kumar and Girish Kumar are liars, out to make a profit at our fears' expense!
