Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj, who initiated the discussion, alleged that the CBI had arrested Shah for the killing involving a terrorist, who had been a convict of TADA and was found in possession of 28 AK-47 and two AK-56 rifles.

On the other hand, Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson was given a "royal farewell" by the Rajiv Gandhi government in spite of being allegedly guilty for the worst industrial disaster in which 15,000 people were killed.
