Days after the barge tragedy off the Mumbai coast during Cyclone Tauktae, Shiv Sena MP and chief spokesperson Arvind Sawant wrote to PM Narendra Modi on Thursday demanding a judicial inquiry by a retired Supreme Court or High Court judge and the resignation of Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the Chairman and Managing Director of ONGC.
The Congress, too sought Pradhan’s resignation while the NCP said that ONGC should be booked for culpable homicide.
Arvind Sawant, Sena MP from South Mumbai, said that the incident occurred not because of the natural calamity but because of the “callousness” of the ONGC management and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
