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

 

Dear Mr. Srinivasan,                             I too came across this news the whole of yesterday. this is the worst method one can imagine of treating a human being like Dr.Abdul Kalam who was the people's President of India. i express my deepest resentment over the incident and condemn all those people involved in this shameful incident. when i see such a thing happening to my leader, the first question arises into my mind is whether will such a frisking show take place for an American leader?? do they possess such guts to frisk an American leader?? they wont because America is a world power. let them know that India is becoming a world power. so let them wait for that day. secondly, who was the one who did this? was it an Indian or an American in Indian soil? because before a person an board a flight, the checking is done inorder to avoid any unwanted incidents, but thats done by Indians only on the aerobridge. so it should've been an Indian since the incident took place in New Delhi. so all this should be investigated and brought to light and severly punish those who embarrased and humiliated not just Dr.Kalam, but the people of India in whole who have such high regard to Dr.Kalam. such an incident should never take place anymore as it spoils the name of 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
