bhopal - justice betrayed

yesterday, the verdict was passed on the tragic bhopal gas accident causing the deaths of over 35000 people and affecting lakhs.
26 years after the incident...
the delay by itself is a betrayal of enormous proportions.
and the verdict. rubbing salt into raw wounds.
obviously it has angered the observers.

the guardian has a great editorial comparing the current BP oil spill in the gulf of mexico as an equivalent. go read it...
and cry for bhopal...

more than Dow chemicals/Warren Anderson/UCC, this miscarriage of justice lies entirely in the laps of the indian government, currently headed by a highly incorruptible but totally incapable person...or maybe only capable of serenading the west.

Well said. What a mockery of the Indian Government's abilities to provide justice for its citizens.

Bhopal was a big joke and is now becoming an even bigger one. Is it about Anderson being not arrested and sentencing a supervisor and few others for two years? It is nothing but ever ongoing saga of dirty politics, unlimited corruption and total indifference and insensitivity at all levels
