Panaji: Goa-based social activist and lawyer Aires Rodrigues on Thursday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order an inquiry into an alleged misuse in Goa of a naval helicopter by the family of Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
In a complaint faxed to the Prime Minister, the activist has pointed out that Arun Jaitley’s wife Sangeeta and daughter Sonali who arrived in Goa from Delhi on December 23 by the Indigo flight 6E-335 on a private visit to attend a wedding were flown by a naval helicopter from Dabolim airport to the five-star Lalit Golf & Spa Resort at Canacona in South Goa.
Alleging that this misuse of the naval copter was at the instance of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and was clearly a gross abuse of power and an unnecessary burden on the Exchequer, Mr. Rodrigues has
stated that it was also contrary to the government’s mantra of good governance and high probity in public life.
