The US’ Continental Airlines sends an apology to India’s former President APJ Abdul Kalam for frisking.
Yesterday, the America’s Continental Airlines said that the former was no exempt from security checks and frisking, following a political uproar, today had sent a formal apology to the India’s former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The apology read that the Airlines had no intent to offend the former President or the sentiments of the people of the country. It further read the Airlines takes pride to flew one of the most respectable leaders of the country.
The apology comes from uproar in the Parliament two houses yesterday over frisking the 77-year-old most respected scientist and the former President before boarding New York bound flight of the Continental Airlines on April 21. Following the incident an FIR had been lodged by Indian government against the staff who were responsible for it.
The frisking was condemned in the Parliament and the Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel describes frisking Kalam one who is exempt from security checks as “unpardonable.”
While people and several members of Parliament were outraged by the incident the former President himself isn’t, and that makes him more adorable and most respected!
