The deadly explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort has triggered widespread political outrage in India, with opposition parties holding Home Minister Amit Shah responsible for what they described as a “clear failure” of the country’s internal security mechanism.
Congress General Secretary and Member of Parliament KC Venugopal said the incident had completely exposed the Modi regime’s hollow claims of peace and stability. He demanded Shah’s resignation and called for an independent, transparent probe into the lapses that led to the blast.
Venugopal said the Home Minister had earlier boasted in Parliament that “no terror attacks happen in mainland India,” but the Red Fort explosion had proven otherwise. “Such overconfidence has endangered the safety of citizens,” he remarked, adding that the government owed the people a truthful account of the security breach.
Senior Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit also questioned the regime’s repeated failures to prevent such incidents, saying those in power must be held accountable for every lapse that costs innocent lives. He stressed that the National Investigation Agency should not only probe the attack but also examine why such incidents are on the rise.
Communist Party of India MP Binoy Viswam blamed the BJP-led government for its inability to protect citizens. “A blast in the national capital shows how fragile India’s security system has become,” he said.
