CBI pet poodle of the central government

CBI failed to act on warrant against Anderson

The trial court in the Bhopal gas tragedy case had issued an arrest warrant against former Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson last year but the CBI had failed to give any written response to it, according to court sources.

They said the warrant, the second against Anderson, was issued by Chief Judicial Magistrate Mohan P Tiwari on July 2, 2009 but the CBI did not give any written response to it.

Anderson was the chairman of the Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) at the time of the disaster in December 1984 which left over 15,000 people dead.

Instead, they said, a CBI official met Tiwari and orally conveyed to him that for the agency, Anderson's case had been closed.

The first court warrant against Anderson was issued in 1992.


The CBI may be an independent agency but for all practical purposes it an extended arm of the government at the centre and its allies.
Like a pet poodle, if the government says stand, it will stand and if it says sit, it will sit. If the centre says wag your tail, it will wag its tail.
Irrespective of who is in power at the cente, it will wag its tail.
whether Congress, Janata Dal, NDA, UPA.
Come one, come all - rape me as if I am a prostitute.
Even criminals are caught and let off as per dictates of the centre.
All the media and papers know it but they keep quiet until the next episode comes.
Then they shout as if they are trying to open the public's eyes.
We all know it.
What does the media do?
When it wants it can be effective like in the Rathore case and earlier in the Manu Sharma case. But mostly it keeps quiet as it too connives with rich and powerful people in politics and business to scuttle investigation. After all the ad revenue and the bottles and invitations to tour places comes from the government.
How can you bite the hand which feeds you?
