Below are the highlights:
- This is a very unfortunate tragedy
- More than 100 lives have been lost
- It is national tragedy
- Every year we hear such tragedies- Nasik, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Sabarimala
- Centre must survey important places of pilgrimage
- Centre should prepare a national disaster plan and help states
- Instead of doing this, every Congress leader from Kamal Nath, Scindia, Maken and Satyavrat are playing politics because of elections
- We condemn this attitude
- There is an election code of conduct in place so no leader is allowed to go.
- Congress' approach is political
