Bhai, patriotism doesn't mean suppressing the right to complain about the services. Unfortunately, many people directly link criticism with not being a patriot. We all love our country and it is our responsibility to give positive feedback and push towards betterment.
Did you enquire the emergency team about the incident, Your in-law got lucky. But someone else may not be. You deserve an answer or explanation on why no response was initiated.
