Mumbai: Rubbishing the allegation that his ministry went out of its way to facilitate the Jet-Etihad deal, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said he was open to “any inquiry” into the decision to increase air traffic rights to Abu Dhabi.
“We are open to any inquiry. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) between India and Abu Dhabi on enhancement of seats was done in a transparent manner,” said Singh, when asked whether he was ready to face a central vigilance commission (CVC) or Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into this controversial issue.
Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Nishikant Dubey had complained to the CVC and written to the Prime Minister alleging conspiracy behind the deal.
Singh also ruled out a rollback of the enhanced seat agreement and said the Cabinet note would be ready in the next seven to 14 days.
