Bhopal, Dec 3 (PTI) Twenty-six years after the Bhopal gas disaster left the city devastated, the victims continue to be plagued with a host of problems with no solution in sight.
As the city observes the anniversary of the disaster today, the victims feel they have little to look forward to.
Abdul Jabbar, convenor of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sangthan, the first and the biggest organisation working for the disaster victims, told PTI that the victims were not suffering from one single problem alone.
"If only the victims had been treated properly, adequate compensation was given to them and those guilty of the disaster has been punished, they would not have anything to complain," he said.
But Jabbar said it was unfortunate that all these things have not been done and continue to add to the unending daily misery of the victims.
"Even if one accepts the BJP contention that the Congress had not done anything for the gas victims, one would like to ask what the BJP has done in the last seven years during which it has been in power in Madhya Pradesh," Jabbar said.
The Sangthan convenor said that as far as the disaster was concerned, there was not much difference between the Congress and the BJP and both were working like two sides of the same coin.
Both these political parties had not done anything for the victims and only used them to further their own political ends, he added. .
