A day ahead of the crucial General Body Meeting of the Indian Olympic Association on the controversial Dow Chemicals issue, its acting president VK Malhotra today demanded the company to be removed from being one of the sponsors of the 2012 London Games.
The IOA GBM is to meet tomorrow and Friday to take a decision on how to make it be known to the London Olympic organisers the Indian peoples’ protests over a company linked with Union Carbide, which had killed thousands in the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy.
