In response to the Home Ministry's call for nationwide mock drills on May 7, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut expressed concerns over the lack of opposition consultation, questioning Home Minister Amit Shah's capability to manage potential war-like situations.
Raut highlighted the need for open discussions with the opposition, citing previous conflicts like the 1971 war, and emphasized the importance of government transparency in preparing civilians. He stressed the need for effective communication strategies, referencing lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic.
