Justice Delayed and Justice Denied

Its has been a long and agonising fight by the survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy for justice. Just two years in jail for the men who committed the worst crime against the people of this country. And whats worse - they are immediately bailed out!!! This mockery of justice after such a long wait. Twenty six years after 40 tonnes of lethal gas seeped into the lungs of Bhopal, some 17,000 men and women are still waiting for the so-called compensation… In all these years, the poor victims have done everything they could to get justice and compensation… Today, they were denied justice. Today, they were told that they should be happy with the peanuts thrown at them by Union Carbide. Today, India proved once again that it doesn't care for its poor… Today, India proved that it doesn't really care for its people, particularly if they have been slaughtered by powerful people from the most powerful nation in the world. Instead of taking on America and fighting for justice for its poor, India is more than happy to sell its dead cheap. What a pity!!!!!
