Why the farce?

The Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984 is an event that no Indian can ever forget. The magnitude of devastation coupled with the festering after effects on the locals, even to this day, continue to defy logic. What makes it even worse is that neither the guilty has been brought to book nor have the victims been adequately compensated. It now transpires that the government of the day had assisted Warren Anderson’s (the chief of the Union Carbide) exit from this country to avoid the law.
The Congress party’s minions have tried to put the onus on the ailing Arjun Singh, the then Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, for having given him a safe passage out of the country as he feared large scale violence by the masses in the state. Now, whom are they trying to kid? Can such an endeavour ever happen without the knowledge of the Prime Minister – especially, an assertive one like the late Rajiv Gandhi? Do Sonia Gandhi and her meek followers think that the common man in this country has swallowed their story hook, line and sinker?
Come on damn it, at least for once, stand up and accept your mistake. This country is so forgiving and emotional that, just on that tokenism, they’ll vote you to power yet again. But do not make the mistake of taking the very same common man for granted - he’ll have the last laugh and he, who laughs last laughs best!
