The Left parties on Friday (June 13, 2025) expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, and said the government must initiate a thorough inquiry into the tragic incident.

“The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is deeply saddened by the tragic crash of the Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London, which resulted in the death of 265 people,” CPI(M) said in a statement, expressing condolences to “the families of all the passengers, crew members, medical students, and doctors who lost their lives in the accident”.

The Left party also demanded a thorough investigation into the crash. “The Government of India must initiate a thorough inquiry into the crash and ensure that adequate safety measures are implemented to prevent such tragedies in the future,” the CPI(M) said.

The Communist Party of India (CPI) also expressed grief over the accident and underlined that the victims on the ground must not be forgotten. “Their families deserve the same care and support,” the CPI said in a statement here.

This catastrophic incident, CPI said, underscored the urgent need to reinforce air safety regulations and institute rigorous oversight of aviation operations. “A thorough, independent, and transparent enquiry must be conducted to establish accountability and ensure that such avoidable tragedies do not recur,” the party noted.
