Reacting to Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut's questions on the possible sabotage of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Saturday stated that not every issue should be politicised, further stating that one must rise above politics and act with human responsibilities.

"Not every issue should be politicised. Sometimes, we must rise above politics and act with human sensibilities -- and I would request the same from Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut as well....It was a very unfortunate event, and every member of the nation is praying for the departed souls," Shekhawat said, speaking to the media.

Earlier, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, reacting to Raut's statement, stated that everyone was interpreting the situation in their own way.

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." (ANI)
