Facing flak for going the extra mile on emission targets and international scrutiny at the Cancun United Nations climate change conference, environment minister Jairam Ramesh said he was trying to do a balancing act. 

"My effort was to walk the thin line between safeguarding our position while showing a level of sensitivity to the view shared by the majority of countries at Cancun, including many of our developing country partners," he said in a letter to MPs. 

He also sought to clarify that he did not make any commitment on India undertaking absolute emission cuts.
