In Parliament, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi urged the government to declare the Wayanad landslide a national disaster and provide a comprehensive rehabilitation package. Calling the event a "huge tragedy," Gandhi emphasized the need for enhanced compensation and disaster-resistant infrastructure. "I saw it with my own eyes. Entire families are gone," he said. With over 200 confirmed dead and many missing, the casualty count may exceed 400. Gandhi praised state governments and rescue forces for their efforts and highlighted the unity among communities during the crisis.
