Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday criticized Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on the Air India aircraft accident in Ahmedabad and termed it as ‘insensitive’. The Congress leader reacted to a post, in which Home Minister Amit Shah can be seen saying, “This is an accident, and no one can stop the accidents.”
Reacting to Shah’s statement, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, “Should the Union Home Minister now say? It is extremely insensitive.”
Congress leader Pawan Kheda also targeted the X and wrote, “When the plane crashes and people die, the Home Minister can at least promise accountability, not to give a speech on fate by raging shoulders.” No one can stop the accident “is a resignation. If nothing can be stopped, why do we have ministers?
The post reads, “Aircraft accidents are not a divine act, they can be stopped. That is why we have aviation regulators, security protocols and crisis reaction systems. According to the argument of the Home Minister, do we stop investing in the preparation of security related infrastructure, regulation or crisis?
