5:30 am
water is contaminated whoever survived that night and whatever life is left for the gas victims they should get proper treatment so they can spend the rest of their lives in good health. they are gas and water victim children grow up born with deformities and their future has to be kept in mind so that these kids can live a proper life and so that their parents do not take them as some sort of burden but . you're welcome. i love and. good afternoon c.h.r.y. this is only summer f.m. to la and i'm joined on the line by son jay very much who is an activist in the bhopal campaign and also was a survivor of the terrible disaster in one thousand nine hundred eighty four so sanjay can you tell us a bit about what happened to you on the night of december third one thousand nine hundred four well i was born in the right thank. you month already. and i
5:31 am
are so and i don't and really don't know why i asked myself so because i had no one with me and the better looking at my school. she was like they all died that i had and. i would be. like. iranian are very in my own eye that you would and i are in early. sunday was less than two and his sister was nine his elder brother i mean he was only thirteen and these were the only people left alive in a family of. my family old runaways i was told later two of them died in hospital. my mother and father were. in the bodies of three sisters by. the other two on this.
5:32 am
they lost their parents. and three sisters and two brothers call in one night. my bad and. my family members die because of this back to. his sister when children's village. but it is a godsend because there will be thousand eight hundred people at but according to the people who are carrying out bodies from the g eight from the houses around seven thousand to ten thousand people have died in the next seventy two hours and. twenty five thousand people have died. i remember my brother all came up and organize it and. then automatically i myself got involved in the fight and i joined like other organizations i think i'll get it.
5:33 am
now i realize no longer you and i factory. playing then and all know how contaminated the factories how one going to get the soil on the factories there like security inside the factory months not paying attention towards them. why he did this study we just want to just extend the chemical contamination build a factory and i will die and see if there is a link. by calling it is going to go on for all going to school that's the site because they think god will make the site justified it is easy if you look at all of the lead guy here mitt romney and. very highly motivated by the thought
5:34 am
and want to die one of the phone mostly as a year. in fact been invented i did this photo get out and you can still see it in the structure of the thing and they're close not surprising that the ground is very high on both them ok. we have received very important documents in this case that i think established very clearly that union carbide knew would advance as early as nine hundred seventy three this pollution problem that we're facing today they knew this was going to happen and they and they went ahead with this project despite that specific knowledge as early as one nine hundred seventy three union carbide engineers or warning the company that the plant presents an unusual challenge in that there's no nearby running body of water into which waste can be discharged so from the design stage waste disposal at the plant was a was a major concern. a lot of waste streams from the plant emptied into the area of the plant known as the solar evaporation
5:35 am
pond area. and this is where the waste in toxic sludge were down to basically an carby we're standing right on top of it and the other side is you can see there used to be a small leak which union carbide also used as a dumping ground for they waste people depended on the water from the link so they drank it and it cost and pedantic. union carbide from the design stage then the bhopal plant could pollute groundwater they also knew that there was a there was a surrounding community that used that groundwater for its drinking water supply. so they believe that they can get rid of someone. by evil braiding it and then when they had like some kind of sludge so they took all of us from. here and there and you see this black line. underneath the ground of this landfill they believe that
5:36 am
this kind of lining if. it can keep the vast. lining and the need to go on every day i don't hear. we believe the solar evaporation ponds continues to be a source of the subsurface water pollution that's now reaching through the aqua for and spreading into these surrounding communities and can be detected as far away as three kilometers from the main plant campus so that we got water before very high was going to be used the idea was using. only english ground and one of these will be an isolated at a recent one. off the factory you want it is still being gone dominated and. needed water because they do not have any other choice of all the way and it
5:37 am
will remain a source of pollution for this area until it is remedial and the party that can do that is you know the symbol mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the tragedy at a union carbide india ltd facility in bhopal and even today continues to evoke strong emotions globally and rightfully so we're saddened however that despite all that has been written about the tragedy in the past twenty five years so many misconceptions still exist about union carbide and it's wrong the government of india is the appropriate entity to address any i'm going to express by the people of bhopal. we are saddened by the fact that the site remains on remediated adding to the tragedy that has occurred the site today is in the hands of the state government of madhya pradesh the state government. and together with the central government they are trying to get the site cleaned up union carbide it's now a wholly owned subsidiary chemical dow chemical. two thousand one
5:38 am
third the boards of both carbide approve the bill at the burger agreement create the world's second largest chemical. does complicate things and doesn't because the law on contamination is very clear in india and in the us and which is the principle of the polluter pays principle is the idea under international law that the liability for pollution should always be traced back to the polluter the polluter should not be able to externalize the costs of pollution onto society at large or to third party it shouldn't be the government's responsibility to clean up at public expense after private polluters. so i don't know god now i know that is one of the many of these people. drinking contaminated water you see this this is like one of the. neighborhood and then we've got
5:39 am
a lot of this bomb test every founded highly contaminated but they do not have any other choice and they are drinking this water. it would like sometime two thousand and four i go sometime in the evening. when i have eased back to my home there was a letter written by my brother that. i'm going to die in a few men so take care of yourselves and he was like he was laying on his back in this room so i had to phone one of my one of my brother's friends and they said. both of us took my brother to the hospital and finally. before that he had run into a jungle where food he had tried to set him off fire. he didn't have any physical problems his sickness was that of paranoia and fear. if anyone

5:43 am
i believe that inhales with time but in both cases it's getting worse. if they get made up on back if we blame each other for everything then no solution will come. that the government blames the company we blame the government the part of the government suffers the company suffers and most importantly the people of bhopal suffer you know. i don't remember actually who was the media person who asked me this question who do you blame to actually according to you. before i answer to this question he said you were goldman but he said to me your government's like ditching you they have been detained people from. so if
5:44 am
your government is not willing to help you then work million car window amicable do for you. on that particular night i'm not particular night on the second and third december some gases from the union carbide leaks and some of the people died now being an autopsy surgeon it was my moral duty to find out what the cause of death was. after analysis it was established that cyanide was present to get along with nearly twenty nine components are to which it team were deadly. like in hiroshima and nagasaki it had an adverse effect on their genes so similarly this adverse effect of the gases causing genetic mutation in india. would like that we don't speak about because he's not a good image of all india in america they don't want to talk about because in spite of the fact that there is
5:45 am
a wobble and fall the rest against mr wong and. i mr anderson has retired in a beautiful house in. new york and of course never america. it was a bone of glacier we're looking at we're going to be inventive and one of the implications is for nation which you know the more than thirty thousand people are affected and the people who are drinking the polluted water have known about the problems this can problems that is this is through the. industrial. age of foreign investment. all of those are sick and that's the position that having to get specific governments are not in business to protect the population. that's what they say they are but it's usually a pretty low priority. don't take any worry that somebody stored in. a record country and stored it pretty often loses. often the loss of the work crew
5:46 am
population but the leaders were willing to take the risk or it was the. least want to respond is an us stock to leave the government just pimping for chemicals and these are the same people who have so far stalled justice for the victims. but we strongly feel that on this occasion of the twenty seventh anniversary we will be able to the stronger than mixes and we will get justice. like they ought to have not to go out get on the other one. of the people of the
5:47 am
prints. is not. really have. what is needed. it's not a building that i was hired to do acquisition for union carbide to bring all of the computer applications on the same. because they are more concerned about bottom line profit than anything i just decided that i was making a profit for just the wrong. michaels made the decision to purchase union carbide knowing that these liabilities were outstanding so when you purchased the assets of a company purchased those liabilities. we're just asking for our right to clean water union carbide is fully exploited the sort of international dimension of this problem it informs the american courts that new york law can't because these events
5:48 am
took place in india the same time the same indian law doesn't apply so in effect they're arguing that they're above them. appropriate behavior for. of course international law has no enforcement laws of course for somebody who was born first if the united states doesn't of course there's no political but they should take responsibility for their power. where dime from the water no one is offering clean water they have no choice the. dow chemical go to how it go to how to how. ages of dow should be spanked. if you look at the subject to the jurisdiction of india then you have to submit to the american boards and the american courts have to do something about. this in two thousand and four the supreme court's directed the government to
5:49 am
provide clean and safe water but the government the states and central has failed to honor the supreme court order. then the problem is that by november two thousand and nine the government would supply clean water but that's a promise was never fulfilled it looks like some pipelines were laid in some areas but not in every area the water they're supplying the spikes his duty and not for drinking water all speak up some brush like kids and dad but to petition ition control board certified against very high concentrations of coal i do so knowing this water is what is being supplied to locals who have given their lives. on the. company should realise that it cannot break this country's low.
5:50 am
i budget if we win this fight outsiders will gain nothing gain will be for years the people of. you know what we have asked for is the clean up cost union carbide should clean all the poisonous and harmful toxic chemicals that are stored inside the plant. army to the groundwater which is polluted in a radius of three kilometers around the plant should be cleaned and union carbide should be paid for about to. bring anderson to india bring them here dow chemical leave india leave india on top of that we have asked for compensation for the victims who are suffering. and it's our mission to fight for people who are weak people who cannot fight for themselves or even know how.
5:51 am
union carbide should bear these expenses because in the coming ten to fifteen years people will keep getting affected due to the growing water contamination and will be more prone to cancers like diseases and you bloody old body of it we are fighting for our society we are fighting for our country we are fighting for gas victims. it's only by virtue of the fact that this afternoon to be. able to exist. that's come. out of this year a fresh known bailable warrant has been issued for foreign andersen. and if the government fails to wake up and help then we are committed to fight the next twenty seven years against the nexus between the company and the government the process could change dramatically if the union or went into the states have done something to them and i made them not and they don't have to be afforded to someone with.
5:52 am
what they have. said to the government if they want this ruling. and if you're right that it was for that those that. they were all the survivors in cold blood they have subpoenaed they have submitted a letter or that of the that's all over the local police were i. guess the many ideas from our research one thing is very clear the union carbide india factory is infected with poison it is a poison which will not lead to death just by touching it so i can understand why their money pradesh government is saying there is no poison. but it is also true that it's a kind of poison that is leaking into our environment that is the main thing i am saying is that the factory should be cleaned as soon as possible.
5:53 am
god has given you this word with all the facilities that god has given everything here why destroyed. that come on friends join the march with the victims and show that your passion has not cooled down. i. was not turned down because we did not get justice and unless we get justice a passion will never cleaned out. every year millions of people dying because of his unburdened the pursuit of profit. and what conflict will follow saying is that you cannot do it you are not allowed to do it because life is sacred and that cannot be violated and. i think that it is my hour the twang day or the strength from the rest of the world who will get justice from dell company that i get. the twenty fifth anniversary is just to learn
5:54 am
my before your father verse read the first two for the verse read will be as important for the final goal. i'm not going to clean that the factory farm all those toxic effluents which still pull you the water that the people have to drink . the amazon i want the world to understand the crime of these companies they profit from the analysts products as they show on t.v. . the same products boys in our lives. we should never allow down to continue their poisonous business in any other city in the world so that another book power will not be repeated by the jedi were three gives us more spirit gives us more encouragement people i'll know what i have been for and we get more support than the previous year if there is justice and
5:55 am
this world would be safer for all of us to live in because it would set a precedent and a parent company cannot set up a subsidiary somewhere in the world create a large scale environmental problem there and then when the time comes to fix liability sell off its local subsidiary and then retreat to the united states or any other developed country and a basically say that nobody can sue them here nobody can hold them accountable so that's the sort of context in which if our litigation were to be successful it would set it important precedent. i am.
