Former Union minister Arun Nehru, a close aide of
Rajiv Gandhi, took a similar line saying Singh had taken the
decision based on the ground situation then.
"Trying to judge events in 2010 by the ground realities
existing in 1984 can never be right," Nehru, who was Congress
general secretary in 1984 but later parted ways with Gandhi
and has no association with the party now, said in Delhi.
In Bangalore, Union minister Salman Khurshid said
emotions should not be allowed to be mixed with law and
stressed the need for enacting a special legislation to deal
with such disasters.
In eastern Indian city Patna, BJP sought action against
those who allowed the "guilty to flee".
"The life of an Indian is not cheap in comparison to any
American or anybody else. The gross injustice which the
victims of Union Carbide gas tragedy in Bhopal have suffered
must make us all alive to this critical aspect. The BJP
demands that all requisite steps must be taken for expeditious
justice to the victims of Bhopal tragedy," the party said.
In Bhopal, Left parties announced that they will launch
a fortnight-long protest in the state demanding justice for
the victims of the gas tragedy.
The Left parties demanded retrial of the accused under
stringent sections of the Indian Penal Code, extradition of
Anderson from the US and his prosecution. PTI TEAM
