Reports on Anderson's exit from Bhopal not correct: Arjun Singh

Senior Congress leader Arjun Singh, whose Madhya Pradesh government's role in facilitating the departure of former Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson from Bhopal in December 1984 has come under scanner, said reports appearing in a section of the media about this are not correct, according to a senior journalist who met him today.

Santosh Bhartiya, editor of 'Chauthi Duniya' and a former  MP who met Singh here, quoted him as saying that he was perturbed over reports about his alleged role in facilitating Anderson's exit from Bhopal in a state government plane three days after India's worst industrial disaster and that he had done his job in the best manner under the circumstances.

Singh said he would speak on the matter at an appropriate time, Bhartiya said.
