Civil aviation Minister, Ashok Gajapati Raju’s mockery of question about Ahmedabad-London direct flight indicates that proposal is unworthy of consideration; can be swept away as rubbish. Gujart Samachar/ Asian Voice’s humanitarian pleadings-e.g. inconvenience to sick/ aged peoples, pregnant ladies, infants etc have fallen on inhumanly deaf ears. Amazingly our Gujju in driving seat, Modi ji, has issued no statement to assure commuters, or to activate relevant ministry.
In incurably corrupt India, money is the only language that is heard. There are two ways to demonstrate adequate number of passengers therefore, guaranteed cash flow to the ministry and thus to government of India.
Prospective commuters to and from Ahmedabad-London must form a club with members’ solid commitment to fly to and fro; membership paid in advance in full. Ministry can be convinced about committed members and more importantly- cash flow. It should be asked to resume flight within a year or request by the club or the club may be dissolved with all contributions refunded.
Charter foreign airline’s planes with promise to continue for minimum number of years. This will open eyes of money hungry-greedy Ministry. Shamefully all our Gujju tycoons, lords, politicians, in India and U.K. are helpless about this issue.
