CPI(M) demands apology from Congress for providing alleged safe passage to Anderson

The CPI(M) today demanded that the Congress party should tender an apology to the country for allegedly providing safe passage to Warren Anderson in the aftermath of the Bhopal gas disaster in 1984. <br/><br/>Addressing a public rally in Patna, senior party leader Brinda Karat demanded a comprehensive and independent inquiry in the matter. She alleged that the Group of Ministers set up by the UPA government would not be able to probe the failure on the part of the government, judiciary and other agencies. She also said that the UPA government has devised a tool in the form of GoM to put sensitive issues on the back burner.<br/><br/>Targetting the NDA government in Bihar, Mrs Karat said, it is serving the interests of landlords by refusing to implement recommendations of the D Bandyopadhyay Commission on land reforms. She asked her party members to launch a movement demanding implementation of the commission's recommendations.
