Cong slams Shah’s remarks as ‘insensitive’, says should’ve promised accountability

New Delhi:  The Congress on Friday termed Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks in Ahmedabad following a plane crash “insensitive”, and said the least he could offer is a promise of accountability, not a “shrug and a lecture on fate”.

Sharing a brief clip from the home minister’s remarks, Congress’s media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said Shah’s “nobody can stop accidents” remark was an abdication.

“When a plane crashes and people die, the least a home minister can offer is a promise of accountability, not a shrug and a lecture on fate. ‘Nobody can stop accidents’ is an abdication. If nothing can be prevented, why do we have ministries at all,” Khera asked in a post on X.
