The victims of Bhopal disaster and activists have slammed the government’s decision, to not intervene in the case against Union Carbide corporation in a New York court. Noted social activist and lawyer Gopal Krishna has written this letter to Maneka Gandhi, who heads the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Government Assurances, to bring the issue to notice of the committee.

 

 

In a recent move, Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily said that the government has decided to not intervene in the case against the Union Carbide corporation in a New York court. The victims of Bhopal disaster and activists have slammed the government’s decision, which comes despite Home Minister P Chidambaram’s (he also heads the Group of Ministers on Bhopal Disaster) assurance in the Parliament that nobody will be allowed to go scot-free. Noted social activist and lawyer Gopal Krishna has written a letter to Maneka Gandhi, who heads the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Government Assurances, to bring the issue to the notice of the committee and its members.
