BJP postpones protest against 'mishandling of Bengaluru stampede' in wake of Ahmedabad plane crash
Bengaluru: The Karnataka unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has postponed its planned protest against the state government's alleged mishandling of crowd control during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) IPL victory celebrations, which led to a deadly stampede claiming 11 lives.
The protest, originally scheduled to take place at Freedom Park in Bengaluru on Friday, was aimed at highlighting the government's failure to manage the RCB celebrations, which turned tragic as the stampede unfolded.
However, in light of the devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad, the BJP has decided to defer the protest.
BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra, in a statement issued by the party's media cell, confirmed that the protest would be rescheduled as a mark of respect for the victims of the plane crash. Describing the crash as "extremely shocking," Vijayendra expressed his heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives.
The crash has left the nation in mourning and sent shockwaves through the global aviation community. The Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, was carrying 242 people, including 12 crew members. The passengers comprised 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese nationals, and one Canadian. Miraculously, one individual survived the crash.
