Earlier today, Kerala Health Minister Veena George confirmed 308 deaths in the multiple landslides that hit Wayanad on July 30.
Two massive landslides hit Wayanad's Chooralmala and Mundakkai on July 30 creating widespread devastation, and loss of lives and property in the region.
Meanwhile, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday moved a Privilege Motion notice in Rajya Sabha, against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his "Early Warning" claims regarding the Wayanad Landslide.
"It is clear that the Union Home Minister misled the Rajya Sabha with his emphatic statements on early warnings issued by the Union government which have been proven to be false. It is well established that misleading the house by a minister or a member constitutes a breach of privilege and contempt of the house," the Congress leader said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the Kerala government could have minimized the losses in Wayanad if they had become alert after the Central government's warning about potential landslides and the risk of people's lives.
He also said that the Central government had sent an early warning to the government of Kerala 7 days before the incident, and then on July 24, 25 and July 26.
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress family would like to commit to construct 100 plus houses in Kerala's Wayanad which witnessed large-scale devastation due to landslides.
Rahul Gandhi along with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday visited Mundakkai and Punchiri Mattam village affected by landslide in Wayanad district of Kerala.
The LoP in the Lok Sabha and Priyanka Gandhi along with other party leaders were briefed by the district administration, and forest officers in Chooralmala, Meppadi, of Kerala's Wayanad. (ANI)
