Robert Vadra to ‘erase’ name from all no-frisk lists

New Delhi: With the NDA deciding to uphold UPA's decision of having Robert Vadra on no-frisking list at airport, the Congress president Sonia Gandhi's controversial son-in-law now plans to remove his name on his own. 
"Plans to visit every terminal in the airports in India and add a white tape on my name from the VVIP list and my signature on top !! So look out," Vadra said in a Facebook post Monday.
The aviation ministry -- whose indecisiveness led to constant flip flops on Vadra remaining on that list or not -- reacted furiously to the businessman's Facebook post. "Why is he politicizing the issue by writing on Facebook? He should write to me or the home minister and we will have his name removed in no time," Union minister of state for aviation minister Mahesh Sharma -- who singlehandedly runs the show as the cabinet minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju has taken a back seat -- told TOI. 
"There is a procedure to be followed. Let Vadra write to the home ministry. The MHA recommendation will be forwarded to Bureau of Civil Aviation Security for the needful," Sharma added.
Vadra's plan to emulate the Goa airport board comes two days after he requested the government to remove him from the list.
