Murli Manohar Joshi, Member of Parliament from Kanpur said that India's image has become that of a country which is unclean and open defecation is rampant. It is surprising that India. which was one of the world's cleanest countries has become one of the most unclean ones. He says that it is most unfortunate that Kanpur is biggest polluter of the river Ganga. Without the cleaning of Ganga, attaining a clean India would not be possible. Two of the world's dying rivers hail from India. Both India's and Ganga's cleanliness are related and cleaning them must be undertaken together.
