Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday criticised the strike by Air India pilots, calling it "a cruel joke on tax payers".
“Rs30,000 crore of tax payers’ money is being used to save Air India. Taxpayers should have no objection to this provided they are convinced that Air India (pilots) are also doing enough to save the airlines," he told reporters at a public meeting in Badgam.
“When pilots go on a strike against allowing pilots of the former Indian Airlines to fly new planes, it becomes a joke and that too a cruel one. Protest should have been on some concrete issue," he said.
