Its a matter of shame for our country and its entire system that a tragedy which occurred in the year 1984 is being raked up now just to pinpoint a leader who is no more with us.  It is very disturbing to note that the entire opposition is charged with questions which was not there all these 26 years  and more so when the government has not been able to provide adequate solace to the victims either by way of compensation or in kindness.  The question of who let off the chief of Union Carbide Mr Anderson is not important for the people of India.  A loss is a loss and can not be measured in terms of money or compensation.  However, it is the intent of the government that matters most while dealing in cases such as the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.  Arjun Singh as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh has absolved the late Prime Minister Sh Rajiv Gandhi and has cited some lame excuses like telephone calls from the Home Ministry in Delhi etc..  The opposition should not insist anything more than what has been stated by Sh Arjun Singh and deal with the case accordingly rather than trying to nail the Gandhi family.  Time and again Madhya Pradesh has been under BJP's rule and the political party could have initiated suitable proceedings to register cases against Mr Anderson, chief of Union Carbide and bring him to face the law of the land.  It is 26 years and it is shameful to see our Parliament spending their precious time on a subject that occurred 26 years back without any benefits for the common man!  This subject is not heading anywhere except wasting time and money of the Parliament in session that could be used for discussing better activities and challenges  that confront our nation.  As I write this blog, my head hangs in shame to see learned Parliamentarians raising this subject which is of no relevance for today's problems and developments.   The moment you switch on the TV set, you either see some scam relating to Common Wealth Games or the Parliament discussing topics that has no value for the present.  when will our Parliamentarians believe and work for the progress of the country unitedly?  When will a common man who has elected such Members to represent them believe that his efforts to stand in the queue and cast his vote to elect a person has not gone waste?  It is sometimes really disgusting to believe that I am a part of this idiotic country where the Parliament meets not to work for the development of the nation but to fight amongst themselves and feel happy to nail someone for his wrongdoings that might have happened decades earlier!! funny, really funny!!
