It appears that ministers at Indian Airlines are not going to budge to the justifiable demand of Gujarati diaspora for direct flight from UK destinations to Ahmedabad initiated by C.B.Patel. It's a huge disappointment for all those who supported the campaign including some dignitaries. Many are offended and feel insulted by the way Indian Authority has handled the matter. They have failed to give valid explanation in writing and decency to apologise for the refusal.
I am sure the campaigners feel strongly for direct flight.The indifferent attitude of the authority must not be tolerated. We are not a laughing stock. We must show our strength. An action is needed. Boycott Indian Airlines. No matter what; even the fares are cheaper at India Airlines, do not use Indian Airlines under any circumstances. Either they cough up with apology for non-compliance or meet our demand. Hope you will take the matter further.
