New Delhi: Opposing special privileges given to MPs, Lok Sabha MP Ajay Kumar today sought revocation of all such privileges granted by airlines to politicians, bureaucrats and judges.
In a letter to DGCA chief Prabhat Kumar, the MP from Jamshedpur representing Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) said he was against granting special privileges which a normal citizen does not have access to.
"Politicians can be absolutely abrasive and very uncouth at airports and misuse the respect which is accorded to their office. However, politicians are only one part of the issue," he said.
Kumar said "the biggest abuse of the special privileges is done by bureaucrats and judges. Air India has suffered immensely in the past and continues to do so due to this reason. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, anybody who has any kind of position or power in India, goes on to misuse it."
