Britain's senior MP Keith Vaz has expressed 'amazement' following the 2012 London Olympics organizers' decision to name controversial Dow Chemical Company, which is 'accused for India's Bhopal gas tragedy', as a sponsor.
Vaz said that if Dow has money to spare it should be donated to the victims of the Bhopal chemical plant, Express.co.uk reports.
"Dow should honour the 1.1 billion dollar commitment if they feel they have enough to pay for the Olympics," Vaz said.
Dow is the owner of Union Carbide that operated the plant in India, which suffered a catastrophic gas leak in 1984.
The move has outraged campaigners fighting for 25,000 people who died in India's devastating 'Bhopal gas tragedy'.
The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal has written to Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, urging him to register an official protest with British Prime Minister David Cameron to say that Dow is a 'fugitive from justice'.
