New Delhi, June 25: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is unlikely to raise the issue of extradition of former Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson when he meets US President Barack Obama in Toronto on Sunday.
The two leaders will meet on the sidelines of the G-20 for a review of bilateral ties and exchange of views on global and regional issues. The issues that will come up in the Summit will also be discussed.
Sources said the Anderson extradition issue was an “old request” and it was for the CBI to do its home work. The US had raised some points and it was for the CBI to answer them.
The sources said they do not think the issue will be raised by the Prime Minister.
Yesterday, the Union Cabinet approved the Bhopal package prepared by the Group of Ministers which included pursuing the extradition issue.
