Congress general secretary and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday said that once the reason for the Ahmedabad plane crash is found, corrective measures need to be taken to protect lives in the future. In a post on ‘X’, Ms. Vadra termed “shameful” and “disappointing” the Indian government’s decision to abstain from the U.N. motion to protect civilians and uphold humanitarian obligations in Gaza. She contended that the Indian government was refusing to take a stand when 60,000 people, mostly women and children, had been killed and the entire population of Gaza were being “confined and starved to death.”
