Newly appointed Uttar Pradesh Congress working President Imran Masood has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of turning the flydubai stabbing incident and Captain Smit Machchhar’s brave actions into a political event.
Salute to his bravery. But it is not as if the BJP has turned everything into an event. The BJP tries to turn every other issue into an event. He is alive; let’s just pray he is well; that’s all.
Speaking to IANS, he said, “Captain Smit Machchhar saved his own life and the lives of others.
Masood also addressed the ongoing political row involving the Election Commission of India (ECI), amid tensions between the Congress and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over allegations of differential treatment of protesters in connection with the alleged defacement of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s ancestral residence. The Congress MP alleged that attempts were being made to divert attention from the larger issue and maintained that Rahul Gandhi was leading the principal battle against the poll panel. “There are many things that are practised to divert the issue. But the real fight is being fought by Rahul Gandhi, and whatever outcome comes from this fight in the country will come from Rahul Gandhi’s fight, not from anything else. “But as far as the real fight is concerned, the whole country understands that the Election Commission has put the entire country in question. His remarks followed criticism from Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who accused the Congress of insulting the people’s mandate by repeatedly questioning the Election Commission. You are a true hero of the brave peoples of India and Israel, and you’re a hero of the entire world.
A trust that had been built over 70 years has been broken by one person sitting in the chair,” he said. The invitation followed Netanyahu’s conversation with the Indian captain on Saturday, as investigators in the UAE described the September 30 incident aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073 as an attempted terrorist attack carried out with a crash axe. Earlier reporting noted: Praising the pilot Smit Machchhar’s actions during the mid-air emergency, Netanyahu said he wanted Machchhar and PM Modi to take part in the ceremony scheduled for May 2027.
The BJP questioned why Congress leaders had not recognised Machchhar’s bravery while, according to the party, members of the Gandhi family had openly expressed concern over the war in Palestine. This could be a way to diffuse the issue and divert the pressure elsewhere,” Masood said. I wish you a very speedy and complete recovery,” Netanyahu told Machchhar.
Earlier reporting noted: Netanyahu invites Captain Smit Machchhar, PM Modi to Israel Independence Day ceremony Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has invited Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to participate in Israel’s Independence Day ceremony next year, a symbolic honour that comes days after Machchhar helped prevent a Flydubai flight from crashing during a violent cockpit attack. Earlier reporting noted: “I want to invite you and my dear friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to light a celebratory flame on our next Independence Day.
