Patna: Apparently Bharatiya Janata Party is weeping for the victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy, but the party, many do not know, accepted donations from Dow Chemicals Company which owns all assets and liabilities including the killer pesticide plant of Union Carbide India Ltd. Dow Chemicals bought Union Carbide in 2001.
The BJP termed as “painful” the Bhopal court order on June 7 whereby eight accused were given a sentence of only two years in jail. The party demanded the government to challenge the court order. “It’s painful. After 26 years of hearing, the accused have got only two years of imprisonment and Rs 5 lakh of compensation has been decided upon. The CBI should go into appeal immediately against the verdict,” said BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad.
The BJP also strongly reacted over the news report that Congress government had asked CBI to go slow on the extradition of Warren Anderson, fugitive CEO of Union Carbide. “The attempts by the then Union government led by PV Narsimha Rao asking the CBI not to press for extradition of Anderson are very unfortunate and deeply condemnable,” Prasad said.
But many do not know that the party apparently so aggressive on the injustice to Bhopal gas victims had in fact received donation from Dow Chemcials, the present owner of the gas plant.
Dow Chemicals gave Rs one lakh to BJP during 2006-2007 through CitiBank Draft no 9189. The information came to light through an RTI application filed by Jamia Millia Islamia student and RTI activist Afroz Alam Sahil.
When the gas tragedy took place in 1984, BJP made an issue of Congress led govt’s intension, relief package and commitment. The opposition had also alleged some Congress leaders of taking side of Union Carbide. BJP has always blamed Congress for injustice to victims, and promising justice has been coming to power in Madhya Pradesh, but it did nothing for the victims, rather has been playing a political game on the issue and has received donation from Dow Chemicals behind the curtain, says Sahil.

this is what makes me
this is what makes me sick.we all agree that justice has to be done, but we keep bickering.
IN THIS CASE, CONGRESS IS RESPONSIBLE AS IT WAS IN THE POWER BOTH AT THE CENTER AND THE STATE WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I understand about Gujarat, but this is not the place.we should fight for that also. neither the congress nor the bjp are saints. they both want to perpetuate themselves at our expense.
BJP weeps for Bhopal victims but accepts donation from Dow Chemi
Come on Guys, do u really think that a donation of 1 lakhs matters to a political party like BJP. lets talk something meaningful. dont make the nonsense like this
BJP far better than congress
At lease BJP didn't take bribes from US to release anderson. rajeev gandhi and arjun singh took money from DOW to let anderson the murderer go away. in 1984 rajeev gandhi killed 10,000 sikhs and 50,000 other in bhopal. rajeev gandhi was the hitler of india.
AnandJi, you are very
AnandJi,
you are very correct.Rajiv Gandhi was a Soft-Hindutvadi.He did all wrongs after becoming PM.He killed sikhs,'50,000' as claimed by you 'in Bhopal',also HE ORDERED THE OPENING OF LOCKS OF BABRI MASJID,thus paving the way for his Shahadat.
U are one...
The worst are Congress.....
Accident occured under Union Carbide not under Dow...what logic are u talking... u are another IDIOTIC product of Jamia Millia Islamia...!!!!
U seem to be pro cong and your own cong PM defended WA
Afzal the traiter Muslim is still in jail enjoying biryani under congress protection had it been BJPs rule by this time his family members would every week visit his grave and weep...
Now Mr AA Sahil what do u say...
U are one... and U r another
Well i don't know what Sahil has to say about your comment. But i can undoubtly say you are a fascist hindutwavadi a sangh parivar element. idiotic sangh ideologist or rather say communal sangh ideologist.
If Afzal is enjoying behind bars for attacking the parliment what do think Advani, joshi, sushma, uma, vinay, narasimha, tagadia, modi have to be done for the illegal demolition of BABRI MASJID. if the indian law was not biased or say the people of law were not be biased then family members of the above mentioned criminals would also had to visit their graves. The kar sevaks families had to visit their graves. Infact, the crime they committed was not just demolition of the MASJID but were also responsible for the communal riots spread through out the country in which somany innocents were killed. If the law was so unbiased towards these criminals they should'nt have even allowed their bopdies to be burried in the indian soil. THEY DON"T DESERVE IT...
And what BJP govt are you supporting, if you remember these were the patriots who even did'nt spare the money given for the COFFINS OF THE INDIAN SOLDIERS IN KARGIL WAR....... GREAT PATRIOTS WHO DID'NT EVEN SPARE THE COOFINS OF OF INDIAN SOLDIERS WHO DIED FOR THEIR MOTHER LAND.
THINK BEFORE SAYING SOMETHING........
Precisely why India is going down the drain
Congress is sure that MUSLIMS will form anti-BJP vote bank to defeat BJP and so indulge in all anti-national activities. Union Carbide CRIMINAL is flown out in GOVT plane by Congress. Congress PM Manmohan Singh is pushing the NUCLEAR LIABILITY BILL by which US company's have pay only Rs 450 Crores in case of NUCLEAR DISASTER and LAKHS of Indians die. But USA is demanding Rs 15750 Crore from the oil company for the recent oil spill in sea "because FISH and BIRDS" are dying. But MUSLIMS will harp on that STUPID BABRI MASJID allowing India to be dragged down by Congress and then complain that they are becoming economically down trodden. Evidently the INDIAN MUSLIMS do not want the KAFIR MAJORITY INDIA to rapidly progress leaving ISLAMIC PAKIS far behind.
Weeping WITHOUT realizing facts
Bhajpa "weeps" at Bhopal Gas Accident victims LATEST INJUSTICE, without realizing they filled their COFFERS in form of donations for their election campaign - not very faar, but recently.
Humans have short-memory span, and may have forgotten many a STING OPERATION(s) by Tehelka. Here is good web-link of: Tehelka "aftershocks" - Choori Choori, Chupke Chupke

There are many many such web-links in my "pandora box", and I will be waiting for Hindutva supporters to justify, dispute, or retaliate - and I expect maintaining (respecting) our geographical limit(s) to Kalyug Bharat, as we live in it - and wish to speak about it.
To err is human, and nobody is Bhagwaan in today's world. We need to correct (or put) our own house, before pointing fingers at others.
