Air India Deboarding row: Upset with the way Raju clarified, says Kiren Rijiju

New Delhi: Minister of State (Home) Kiren Rijiju Friday said he was upset with the Civil Aviation Minister for his statement made a day ago, wherein he apologised to passengers who faced inconvenience because of VIP movement.
Rijiju also told The Indian Express that he would write a letter to Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju, asking him to seek an explanation from Air India on the circumstances under which the public airline advanced the flight timings, causing inconvenience to all the passengers, including him.
Rijiju also said no passengers were offloaded to make way for him and Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Nirmal Singh on June 24.
“I am very upset with the way Air India or the Civil Aviation Minister has clarified because we are colleagues and we are responsible for the misconduct of any of our government officials or PSUs like Air India. Civil Aviation Ministry must immediately seek a report and I want to know the reason why Air India changed the original schedule from Leh to Delhi, preponing it by nearly an hour, causing injustice to all of us, all the passengers. It must be explained,” said Rijiju.
