Re: [India_Vision_2020] Continental Airlines, an American Company humiliates India

 

Sir, Everyone knows that due to Kalam sir, today India is a strong missile & nuclear power and the nation is respected in the world.He is the only person, who has initiated development that could bring about noticeable & useful changes in the nation after Late Smt. Indira Gandhi.Thus, for insulting such an important & great person, the airlines company must apologise to Dr.Kalam and if it does not, then it should be banned from flying in India.

According to Indian protocol rules, Former Presidents and Former Prime Ministers are not frisked.  These guidelines apply to all the Airlines permitted  to  operate in India.   When Dr Abdul Kalam, Former Indian President went to check-in Continental Airlines, they  breached the protocol and  frisked him along with the common passengers at Delhi Airport.   He was also asked to wait at the Aerobridge like any other passengers for being frisked.  Dr Abdul Kalam at that time, in his own usual humble way, submitted himself for all the security check, including removing his shoes.   Today, the news has come out in all the TV Channels and is being debated in Indian Parliament.   The Airline's spokesperson has said that that for their Airline, there is no such VIP treatment.  All the political parties in India have taken this very seriously and the Government has issued a Show cause notice to the American Airlines for their behaviour of humiliating former Indian President in Indian soil. IWhat would happen if any  Indian Airline Company frisks and humiliates the former US President Bush or Clinton in US Airport.  Will Continental Airlines have courage to frisk any former Presidents of US or European countries? Dr Abdul Kalam is a very simple and humble man, highly respected by the entire world.  He may not mind such humiliations.  But such arrogance of an American Airlines on a highly respected Indian leader, that too in Indian soil itself is a matter to be condemned.  There is no history that anywhere 'arrogance' has succeeded.  Only humility and humbleness lead to success.  Dr Abdul Kalam himself is a classic example.   Srinivasan Moderator 9176650273
