WIkiLeaks reveal that DOW pays for spying on Bhopal activits

DOW chemicals has been exposed today by WikiLeaks for spying on Bhopal Gas tragedy activists. In fact some of the emails show that they have been paying off huge sums of money to embassy people, journalists and many more to keep a tab on Bhopal activists. They are also shown to pay of some professional firms for spying.

I am really sad that  even after so much of evidence having emerged against DOW Chemicals London Olympics Committee is not dropping them from the official sponsors list. Some of their high profile members and volunteers have quit in protest already.

Today I heard in Times Now that India has sent an official protest to London Olympics committee. Some steps at last. I hope they follow this up and don't end it here.

Even beyond the Olympic sponsorship, DOW chemicals need to be taken to task. They have been accused of doing so much to undermine the legal steps. There is a rumour going around that even the Union Carbide, DOW chemical merger was done to undermine the Indian legal system by making it go through complicated iterations.WikiLeaks is even claiming a switzerland and Bhamas route pay-off to all these people involved in their network.

I dunno if what WikiLeaks or Julian Assange are claiming is really true. But its better we investigate what Wiki has revealed. Its better for us. Its better for the Bhopal gas victims.

With prayers that such a tragedy does not happen again. Signing off.
