Everyone is interpreting situation in their own way: Ajit Pawar on Sanjay Raut's remarks on AI-171 crash

Maharashtra Dy CM Ajit Pawar urges focus on facts after Shiv Sena UBT's Sanjay Raut raises sabotage theories over Ahmedabad plane crash.

"Everyone is interpreting the situation in their way... we should focus on the facts of what happened. - Ajit Pawar"

Pune, June 14

After Shiv Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut raised serious questions about possible sabotage in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said that everyone is interpreting the situation in their way.

Reacting to Raut's statement, Pawar said, "Several theories are surfacing. Some retired pilots are sharing their views. Some experts are also commenting. Everyone is interpreting the situation in their way. You should also know that one person survived this crash. So, while many people are speaking from different perspectives, I request that we focus on the facts of what happened."

Earlier today, Raut raised serious questions about possible sabotage in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, which killed 241 people. He asked whether there was any cyber-attack on the system of the plane by any enemy country, as they try to target India's military installations with their cyber attacks.

"I am not an expert, but there are serious questions about sabotage in the Air India plane that crashed in Ahmedabad within 30 seconds of takeoff. Was there any cyber attack on the system of the plane by any enemy country, as they try to target our military installations with their cyber attacks?" Raut said in a press conference in Mumbai.

The Shiv Sena UBT MP added, "The BJP was against the Boeing deal when it happened, and Praful Patel was the Minister of Civil Aviation at that time. People are afraid of travelling by air now. Maintenance is the key for the aviation sector. Who has the maintenance contract for Ahmedabad? Why was Ahmedabad selected for this? Why did the accident happen to the flight from Ahmedabad airport? The way ministers were behaving on the debris of the plane is really sad."

Meanwhile, speaking on the COVID-19 situation in the state, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra said that there is no need to panic and the Health Minister is closely monitoring the situation.

Pawar added that the number of COVID-19 cases in Pune is under control.

"The Chief Minister is being briefed about the situation in every cabinet meeting. The number of COVID-19 cases in Pune is under control. The Health Minister himself is keeping a close watch on the matter... There is no need for citizens to panic... Basic precautions have been advised to the public," Pawar told reporters.

Ajit Pawar is right - we should wait for the investigation report before jumping to conclusions. Conspiracy theories won't help anyone. My heart goes out to the victims' families 🙏

While Raut raises valid questions about maintenance, politicizing a tragedy like this is in bad taste. We need better aviation safety standards across all airports, not just Ahmedabad.

The cyber attack theory seems far-fetched but we can't ignore possibilities. After Pulwama and Galwan, we know some neighbors don't wish us well. DGCA should thoroughly investigate all angles.

Why are our ministers always in damage control mode? First fix the aviation sector instead of giving "don't panic" statements. My cousin was on that flight...we deserve answers not politics 😡

Both points are important - we need transparent investigation AND shouldn't spread panic. But why is our aviation safety record so poor compared to other developing nations? Time for complete overhaul!
