New Delhi: Opposition parties including the Left on Sunday slammed civil aviation Minister Ajit Singh for saying that government was ready to privatize Air India and accused him of selling public asset without bringing a civil aviation policy.
Warning the minister against making any "off-the-cuff" remark, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said there must be a proper discussion on the issue.
"It is a serious and sensitive issue. There must be proper discussion within the government first and thereafter the views of the opposition need to be taken," he told reporters here when asked to comment on Singh's remarks.
Asking the government not to take a "disastrous move" which will go against national interest, senior CPI leader D Raja said the government had promised to bring a civil aviation policy but did not do it in so many years.
