Ram Gopal Varma asks 'What God is doing?' amidst Air India crash

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma reflects on recent tragedies including the Air India crash, Pahalgam attack, and Bengaluru stampede.

"GOD knows what GOD is doing? – Ram Gopal Varma"

Mumbai, June 13

As the entire nation mourns the loss of life in the horrific Air India crash in Ahmedabad, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma said that only God knows what he is doing.

In the recent past, some unfortunate events have taken place which have left everyone shocked to their core.

Reflecting on all that has happened, Ram Gopal Varma took to his X timeline and wrote, "GOD knows what GOD is doing?"

Talking about the horrific Pahalgam attack, he added, "You to a beautiful location for a vacation and terrorists shoot you".

On April 22, militants ended up killing around 26 civilians in the Pahalgam region of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, mainly targeting Hindu tourists.

The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack.

Avenging the attack, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, attacking terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). This led to cross-border tension between the two neighbors.

Shifting his focus to the Bengaluru stampede, the 'Sarkar Raj' maker shared, "You go to celebrate in a trophy parade and you die in a stampede".

On June 4, eleven people lost their lives in a stampede in Bengaluru, during a victory parade celebrating Royal Challengers Bengaluru's first Indian Premier League win.

He also expressed grief over the horrific Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad saying "You fly in a plane and the plane crashes."

"You are eating a meal in your hostel and a plane falls on you," he added.

On Thursday, Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed soon after taking off. The aircraft plunged into a residential complex near BJ Medical College.

Out of the 242 people on board the flight, only 1 survived, leaving 241 dead.

After taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.38 p.m. (IST) the plane lost control moments later.

While RGV's questions are valid, this isn't the time for philosophical debates. We should focus on supporting victims' families and improving aviation safety. The AI crash exposes serious lapses - why was a residential area so close to the runway? 😔

Tragedies like Pahalgam attack and AI crash show how fragile life is. But questioning God won't help - we must question our systems instead. Why are terror groups still active? Why do stampedes happen repeatedly? These are man-made failures, not divine will.

Operation Sindoor was necessary after Pahalgam. Pakistan needs to understand we won't tolerate terrorism anymore. As for the plane crash, it's heartbreaking 💔 My colleague's cousin was on that flight. We need thorough investigation and accountability.

RGV always speaks his mind, but sometimes silence is better. People are grieving - this isn't the time for cryptic tweets. The government should announce proper compensation for all victims' families immediately.

The real question is - when will our systems improve? From airport security to crowd management, we keep seeing the same mistakes. Developed nations don't have stampedes at public events or planes crashing into colonies. Enough of "chalta hai" attitude!

My heart goes out to all affected families. 🙏 But let's not mix issues - terrorism is Pakistan's doing, while plane crashes and stampedes are our own failures. One needs strong response, others need better governance. Praying for all souls lost in these tragedies.
