It is evident that the powers be, namely,Rajiv Gandhi and Co, had an active interest in letting Anderson escape.PC Alexander’s statement in Times Now that Rajiv Gandhi was too busy in visiting States,itself tells us the story.Nor can BJP Govt. be absolved of their responsibility,for they have done nothing in this affair when they were in power.The humming and hawing of ex CBI director confirms that the Governments have never been serious in punishing culprits.
A murderer is asked to examine the case, find out the motives, decide if he is guilty and given 10 days to submit REPORT.This what the GOM,group of ministers are going to do.
What a sham and a shame! Read my blog on the subject filed under ‘Environment’,Business’
Story:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked senior ministers Monday to take stock of last week’s court verdict on the 1984 Bhopal gas leak and report back within 10 days. This belated sense of urgency is meant to placate everyone from anti-American groups to anti-industrialists, antitrade advocates and antitechnology believers who are up in arms over the court’s light sentencing of executives implicated in the accident. Lost in the public outpouring are the long-suffering victims of the tragedy—and the issues that Indians should really be angry about.
The Bhopal disaster was a seminal moment in India’s modern history. On December 3, 1984, about 40 tons of methyl isocynate leaked out of storage tanks at the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal. The gas spread through low-lying areas of the city, killing people in their homes and on the streets and in the railway station as they tried to flee. The death toll is estimated between 15,000 and 20,000, with over half a million said to be affected in some form.
