Wayanad tragedy: Minister says MPs are playing politics to humiliate Kerala | Madam

NEW DELHI: John Brittas and the Union Ministers fought the Wayanad disaster. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Forest Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav have insulted Kerala even in the face of disaster, said John Brittas MP in the Rajya Sabha. It is difficult to blame and shame him when the whole country should connect with the country that lost people. Brittas said in the Rajya Sabha that you are insulting those who are sitting with you, including Minister Suresh Gopi. Kerala is being discriminated against in every way. Brittas said that after announcing the central schemes, the state should pay 40 percent​​​​​​​​​​ and it should be marked with Modi’s picture.

However, Minister of State for Tourism Suresh Gopi said that Britas is lying. There has been a sharp drop in 15 major tourist destinations in Kerala. What is the local administration doing at Varkala Papanasham Beach? It should be clarified how the state took into account the warnings given by the Department of Geology earlier. Suresh Gopi said that a delegation should be sent to Kerala to investigate how the natural calamity happened.

While responding, Union Forestry and Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav demanded that Brittas’ statement that he had insulted the people of Kerala be removed from the records of Parliament. There is pain in tragedy. In the last ten years, the Center has given environmental clearance to only one tunnel in 17 hectares in Wayanad. However, the minister also pointed out that in the last three years, Kerala has given permission to three quarries. The minister also said that illegal construction and mining were rampant in the vulnerable area. The minister said that the Communist Party is playing politics here and not him.
