What is Air India Chief's 'Aukat' Before Us: Shiv Sena Remains Defiant on Gaikwad
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday questioned the “aukat” (stature) of the Air India chief while defending party colleague Ravindra Gaikwad who has been grounded by major airlines for assaulting an Air India employee last month.

“If the matter is not resolved by April 10, we will not attend NDA meeting,” he said, adding that the reply of Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju in Parliament was “not sufficient”.

He also questioned the attempt to murder charge against Gaikwad, asking, “How can hitting someone with slippers be attempt to murder?”

Security at the airports in Pune and Mumbai has been increased following Shiv Sena’s threat to disrupt operations in Maharashtra.

Earlier in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Public Sector Enterprises Anant Geete entered into altercation with civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju after the latter in a statement defended the ban saying that security comes first as far as airline travel is concerned.

The two nearly came to blows before Smriti Irani and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh intervened and caught hold of Geete, the lone Shiv Sena minister in the Union cabinet, before he reached Raju.

What's your reaction?
