HAVE YOUR SAY! Is it necessary for the staff of Continental airlines to know who is A.P.J Abdul Kalam? Government in Indai are in outrage for the following act of Continental Airlines Staffs -
"The frisking was absolutely unpardonable," Minister of State for Civil Aviation Praful Patel said in the Rajya Sabha. "Action will be taken in accordance with the sentiments of the house."
The statement came after MPs from across the spectrum expressed outrage over Kalam being reportedly subjected to a full body check and even asked to remove his footwear as he waited on the aerobridge of the Newark-bound flight at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in April this year.
"Continental Airlines has been issued a showcause notice under section 11A of the Aircraft Act for wilful violation of the law," Patel said.
"The frisking or action per se was absolutely wrong. The former president and other such dignitaries are exempt from such frisking," Patel pointed out.
After Leader of Opposition Arun Jaitley had raised the issue in the house during zero hour, Deputy Chairman K. Rahman Khan said: "It is the unanimous sentiment of the house that this is a very serious matter. I hope the government will take note and take appropriate action."
Patel also denied reports that security operations at the airport had been outsourced.
"Security has not been outsourced. It is still the responsibility of the CISF (Central Industrial Security Force). This incident involved the security of the airline at the embarkation point," Patel pointed out.
The Congress also said the incident must be probed to find out the reasons why it happened.
"We certainly need to look into it and find out why it happened," Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said.
Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Sitaram Yechury said it was an unfortunate incident and wondered if it had something to do with Kalam's name.
"I believe they do not acknowledge that he was the former president of the republic of India and if someone like that is considered to be a security threat, it's very unfortunate. I really don't know whether this has something to do with the name as well, in which case it is much more serious," Yechury told reporters.
