New Delhi, (PTI) : Former Union Minister Vasant Sathe today said there was a "collusion" between the Madhya Pradesh government and "some people" in the Centre which allowed former Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson to escape justice in the Bhopal gas tragedy. Sathe, former minister for Information and Broadcasting and Chemicals and Fertilisers, told PTI, "There was a collusion between the state government and some people in the central government, probably in the Home Ministry" during the Narasimha Rao government.
Asked who could be responsible for the escape of Anderson, Sathe said he could not guess the names of the people but claimed only the then Chief Minister Arjun Singh could reply to queries on this issue. "I cannot guess the names of the people...The collector (Moti Singh) says he got orders from the Chief Secretary...Arjun Singh ji knows all the facts.
