Wayanad landslides: BJP trying to communalise entire situation, says CPI General Secretary D Raja
BJP leader Gyandev Ahuja's remarks over disaster-hit Wayanad district in Kerala, Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D Raja said that the BJP is trying to 'communalise' the entire tragedy.
Speaking to ANI, CPI General Secretary D Raja said, «A tragedy occurred, and people are suffering. Our and several other parties are working on how to help the people- financially, supplying relief material, and shelter. People need food, shelter and medicines. BJP is trying to communalise the entire situation...»
«What is your responsibility as the political party of the country,» questioned the CPI leader.
This comes after Senior BJP leader Gyandev Ahuja on Saturday sparked a row as he linked the Wayanad landslides to cow slaughter practices in Kerala.
Indian Air Force on Saturday airlifted one ZAWER and four REECO radars from Siachen and Delhi to fasten the search operations in the landslide-affected areas of Wayanad.
In a display of coordination and bravery, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG), Indian Army, and Indian Air Force (IAF) on Saturday successfully rescued three personnel stranded at Soochipara Waterfalls, located in landslide-hit Wayanad district of Kerala.
During their morning combing operation along the river banks from Mundakai to Soochipara, the ICG search team sighted three individuals stranded near the waterfalls. The presence of the survivors was immediately reported to the control centre at Mepadi.
A coordinated land and air rescue operation was swiftly launched, involving ICG, Army, and IAF
