Following the recent school shooting in the US, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram emphasized the need for stricter gun control laws in both America and India. He expressed concern over the leniency of American gun laws and called for a review of firearm acquisition and possession regulations in India.
In response to the tragic incident in Texas, where an 18-year-old gunman killed 21 people, including 19 children and two adults, President urged lawmakers to take action and implement stricter gun laws to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
Chidambaram condemned the school shooting in Texas, expressing solidarity with the American people and the grieving families. He emphasized the importance of addressing hate speech and violence to prevent such tragedies from occurring worldwide.
Highlighting the need for tighter gun control measures, Chidambaram stressed the importance of restricting access to firearms. He criticized the loose and lenient gun laws in the US and called for similar reforms in India.
The gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. The shooter, who was later killed by law enforcement officers, targeted one classroom, killing two teachers and 19 children.
Lt. Chris Olivarez, spokesperson for the Texas Department for Public Safety, confirmed that all the fatalities and injuries occurred in a single classroom in Uvalde. The shooter barricaded himself in the room before carrying out the attack.
