Rebel Punjab AAP leader Sukhpal Singh Khera on Monday has called the Amritsar train accident a "minor tragedy".
61 Dussherra revellers were mowed down by a speeding train on Friday night.
The Akali Dal expressed disbelief at the AAP leader's attempt to play down the tragedy.
Akali Dal leader Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal, said in a statement, said calling the "Amritsar tragedy a minor incident is shocking proof of his heartlessness and his desperation to bail out his friends in the Congress."
