Bhopal case still open for ex-chief Warren Anderson

India's law minister has said that the case against those responsible for the Bhopal gas leak in 1984 is not closed.
Veerappa Moily said that US citizen Warren Anderson, then CEO of Union Carbide, the plant owner, still faces charges for the disaster.
The comments come amid outrage by campaigners over convictions by Indian courts, which handed out two-year jail sentences to eight people.
Congress today said that the UPA government should make every effort to extradite Warren Anderson, the Chairman and CEO of Union Carbide when the Bhopal gas tragedy took place. "Congress is of the firm opinion that the extradition process should be completed and he (Anderson) should be brought back.
We hope government will take it to its logical conclusion," Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan told reporters here. She said the Congress wanted every step to be taken to ensure that the perpetrators of the world's worst industrial disaster stand trial and people who were wronged receive justice.
