The Trinamool Congress leadership on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) blamed security lapses by the Union Home Ministry for the blast at Delhi’s Red Fort and demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Trinamool also sought to know why the Prime Minister chose such a delicate moment to visit Bhutan.

They asked that Prime Minister Narendra Modi explain “why diplomacy took precedence over mourning those who died at India’s most sacred symbol of freedom.”

Senior leaders of the party held a press conference in Kolkata and said the blast indicated an “administrative failure on an industrial scale, and a collapse of basic vigilance, and coordination.” An explosion near Red Fort in Delhi on Monday (November 10) killed at least 13 people and left several injured.

“While @narendramodi selfies his way through foreign visits, and @AmitShah treats electioneering as his day job, the responsibility to protect the people has been abandoned. When those entrusted with our security are absent, indifferent, or preoccupied, the cost is paid in blood and fear. And yesterday, that price was exacted on the streets of Delhi. We demand the immediate resignation of the Union Home Minister!,” the West Bengal ruling party posted on its official social media handles.
