NEW DELHI: Coke giants aren’t exactly tom-tomming the safe certification handed out by the government. But health minister Anbumani Ramadoss’s statement in Parliament has provoked yet another round of demands for a cola ban and criticism from the Left.
While states like Kerala, which has banned colas, made no move to rescind the move, Karnataka’s health minister R Ashok told TOI his department has found two more drinks — Mirinda produced by PepsiCo and Coca-Cola’s Thums Up — had high pesticide residues.
The tests, he assured, were done in the prescribed format at a government laboratory. “We will produce the reports in court. The trial should be in court and not the media,” he said.
“I find it fishy that Anbumani Ramadoss can give the colas a clean chit based on one lab report. I wonder why he is so industry friendly when his ministerial role demands him to be people friendly.” Karnataka, he said, was holding discussions with Kerala to find how they imposed a ban on colas.
“We are poring through the legal tomes to find if we too can do this,” he said. If this was coming from a BJP-backed government, the strongest Left voice in Delhi also echoed the sentiment.
“The health minister has virtually defended cola companies,” CPM leader Sitaram Yechury said. Green voices also were upset with Ramadoss’ clean chit.
“To ban or not ban Coke and Pepsi cannot depend on one minister under the influence of the US government. It cannot depend only on the standards set by corrupt and manipulated government agencies,” said Vandana Shiva.
However, there were others, who said they always knew colas were a good sip. “I have been drinking Coke since 1960. I am healthy,” said Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh, refusing to heed calls for cola curbs.
Although things might be going better for colas, the companies are being circumspect in celebrations, perhaps because of a past embarrassment.
In 2003, when the pesticide issue first broke out, at least one cola company issued ads talking about the clearance given by the then health minister Sushma Swaraj, which were not taken too kindly by the then government.
Thereafter, the company had to tender an apology, as the government found its advertisement “misleading”, as it had used only a part of the minister’s statement made to the Lok Sabha.
The Centre also said it was “unethical” to use the minister’s name for promoting products.

In the days before Indian cricket team selectors could toss aside last year’s medium-pacers like they would banana peel, the constant refrain used to be: “Can’t a nation of close to a billion produce at least one medium/fast bowler?”. The crop of Munaf and VRV may have pushed the focus to different problems, but we can borrow the lament and apply it thus: “Can’t a globe that has tens of thousands of tennis players produce a player who can challenge Roger Federer?”
Almost everyone I know who follows tennis stopped back and stayed by a television screen because two players were engaged in elegant battle; not just in a single tournament, but over many seasons. Tennis has never needed any better advertisement (especially before smartly attired young Russians whose names ended in “-ova” started to appear on billboards). For my generation, the recent legends of Borg and McEnroe were replayed in the battles of Lendl-Becker, Becker-Edberg and then ultimately Sampras-Agassi. Since these also featured a stellar support cast of Connors, Wilander, Ivanisevic, Rafter, and Courier, tennis was not a collection of ‘breadsticks’ and ‘doughnuts’ as it threatened to be in the last couple of years of “The Rogera”.
Roger Federer, out of nowhere, has installed himself (and with poise) as the definitive player of his eneration - a fact that no one even wants to start disputing. Such unanimity amongst both watchers and critics is as rare as Federer getting beaten on grass. So much so, that despite our affection for the Swiss, we will grasp at any straws, even if they come from a clay-filled, grass-less surface.
Rafael Nadal has provided it to us in the last 14 months. The attachment of the suffix “-ever” to some glorious epithets before Federer’s name awaits victory at Roland Garros, preferably with Nadal to greet him from the other end. But with Nadal’s astonishing ascent to the finals of Wimbledon (which even the kindest of critics will point to his easy draw, earned by his ranking from the clay-court spoils), we are in danger of getting too excited about this “rivalry”.
Perhaps the US Open will give us a good idea as to where Nadal stands. Those hands that rubbed in glee anticipating a long run of Roddick-Federer clashes have been thrust deep into pockets. Does Nadal really promise to be the only spell, mental or physical, against a man who would probably have been burnt for being a warlock in less englightened times? This time we’ll wait and watch.
Update:
Rajk points me to this unbelievable Federer moment. You may not believe it even after you see it. Andy Roddick didn’t seem to.
