Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to ‘dine’ with the CEO of Dow Chemical, responsible for the worst industrial disaster in Bhopal has enraged the members of civil society and social media users.

On Friday, NGOs working for the Bhopal gas tragedy victims slammed the PM for dining with the CEO instead if making him answerable to law.

In a joint press conference, they said that the PM’s action of “pleading” with Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris to invest more in India was “outrageous and disgusting” for citizens.

“Instead of making Dow Chemical obey Indian laws, the Prime Minister chose to offer a lavish dinner to its CEO Andrew Liveris during his visit to US this September,” said Rashida Bee, head of Bhopal Gas Peedit Manila Stationery Karmchari Sangh.

“From newspaper reports we learnt that Modijee offered thandai chicken, sevaiyan cake and other delicacies to Liveris, just nine days after the Bhopal chief judicial magistrate issued notice against his company for sheltering the fugitive killer Union Carbide,” she said.

Photo of Modi ‘enjoying’ the company of Liberis has gone viral on social media with users expressing their ‘anger and disgust.’
