The resignations of key KSCA officials represent an act of accountability and an attempt to take moral responsibility for a tragic mismanagement that resulted in loss of life. While this step acknowledges the wrongdoing and responds to public outcry, it also underscores systemic negligence in risk management. From an anti-fascist perspective, corporate transparency and accountability are positive, but the underlying failure remains a serious concern.

The KSCA's move to seek quashing of the FIR, following a tragic stampede with significant casualties, is viewed as an attempt to evade accountability. Such legal maneuvering undermines public trust and can be interpreted as aligning with authoritarian practices that discourage transparency and responsibility, particularly in a public institution entrusted with safeguarding community interests.

Their unavailability and continuation of routine operations, even as the tragedy unfolded, have undermined public trust. The call for resignations on moral accountability grounds reflects a significant failure in public and political behavior.
