Palam, Delhi – In the aftermath of the devastating Palam fire tragedy that claimed nine lives, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has strongly condemned the actions of BJP workers who allegedly disrupted AAP leaders visiting the victim’s family. Party leaders went to console the grieving family, but were reportedly prevented from meeting them, verbally abused, and even had chairs thrown at them.
“This is the height of inhumanity,” said Arvind Kejriwal, criticizing the behavior of BJP workers during the Palam fire tragedy aftermath. “The government’s negligence led to the death of nine people. The fire brigade’s hydraulic lift wasn’t operational, and people cried for hours before succumbing. And now, the same workers are creating chaos at the home of a mourning family.”
