Please read these following reports relating to Bhopal Tragedy/verdict :

(Please also read in between the lines !!!)


Then please ask yourself ....is India a mature democracy or a banana-split republic !!! Or is there a compulsion for Indians to always play martyrs !!!
Do you think these past twenty five years ( after the tragedy...) testify that we are a great SPIRITUAL NATION ???

 

The reconstituted Group of Ministers (GoM) on Bhopal gas tragedy met on Monday.

According to sources, the ministers have reached a  consensus that the Madhya Pradesh government will undertake exercise of clean up with support from the Centre.

They've also decided that Rs 10 lakh will be given to those who lost their lives in India's worst industrial disaster, and that the liability of Dow Chemicals will be pursued in the Madhya Pradesh High court at its Jabalpur Bench, the sources added.

New Delhi: Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily on Saturday completely blamed judiciary for the delay in delivering justice and letting of former Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson in the Bhopal gas tragedy case.

Blaming the judiciary, the law minister said the government has done its job.


“Government did its job, judiciary should be blamed for the delay,” Moily said.

Commenting on the judgment, Moily said, “Such accidents should be treated as disasters.”

Taking lessons from the verdict on the Bhopal gas tragedy, the Law Ministry would work on drafting a "standalone" law to deal with man-made disasters, he added.

"The Law of Torts in India are not codified...there is a need to codify such laws," Moily said.

The Bhopal gas tragedy is the world's worst industrial disaster and remains a blot in Independent India's history. Even after two decades, the pain and suffering of the victims of the tragedy are still alive. The scars run deep, and the truth seems to be buried by politics. Corporate liability, when it comes to MNCs, still remains elusive in the industry even as the government passes the buck on who allowed Warren Anderson go scot-free. Has India learnt its lessons from the Bhopal gas tragedy?

(IBN live)


The only lesson that is worth learning....it seems....

Please become human....not vote-bank hungry parliamentarians !!!


( Incidentally...the definition of 'parliamentary behavior' needs to be redefined in the Indian Context ?)
