Bhopal Gas Tragedy Activist Abdul Jabbar Dies

Social activist Abdul Jabbar, who fought for justice to the 15,000 victims and thousands of survivors of the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy, died on Thursday at a private hospital in the Madhya Pradesh capital.

"Had I been a cartoonist, I’d have made a cartoon. It’d show all gas victims as a dead body lying in the open. And the Gas Rehabilitation department, the government, bureaucracy, judiciary, police, lawyers, CBI, writers, activists…I would draw them all as vultures and foxes tearing and eating up the pieces of that corpse."

"......Everybody is feeding on the pain of gas victims. The victims were destroyed by the gas leak. But when they were running against time that cold December night––on the intervening night of Der 2-3, 1984 – they had no idea that the real tragedy was waiting for them in the years to come.”
