Following a devastating fire in Kuwait that claimed 49 lives, including 41 Indians, opposition leaders in India have criticized the government's response. Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai argued that the ₹2 lakh compensation announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is insufficient. He emphasized that in the face of inflation and economic difficulties, each bereaved family deserves at least ₹25 lakhs in compensation. Rai also called for job opportunities for one family member of each victim to help sustain their households. The tragedy has prompted broader discussions about the living conditions of foreign laborers in Kuwait and the adequacy of support provided to their families back in India.
