A whole village has been washed away. Earlier, it didn\u2019t rain like this there. Why are such tragedies happening? We need to reflect on this. We\u2019ve cut down too many trees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cIn Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, other religions are not being respected. There is someone who governs this world, and when divine justice happens, no one can protect themselves. Bulldozers should not be used on any dargahs or temples. It\u2019s better to evacuate such places peacefully,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh: On the Uttarkashi cloudburst, former Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan says, \u201c\u2026Uttarakhand mein aur Himachal Pradesh mein doosre ke mazhab ka koi bhi samman nahi ho raha hai\u2026 Is duniya ko chalane wala koi aur hai, jab uska insaaf hota hai to phir aadmi\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YxywNkU6K1\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/YxywNkU6K1<\/a>\u2014 IANS (@ians_india) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ians_india\/status\/1953862228136116409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>BJP Slams Hasan\u2019s Remarks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a scathing criticism of Hasan\u2019s remarks, calling them divisive, baseless, and politically-motivated. \u201cWhat a Disgrace!

At least 729 people have been evacuated from parts of the disaster-hit Dharali area that are still cut off following mudslides and flash floods on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The district administration has confirmed four deaths, and 49 people have been missing since the disaster.
