Why Vadra is thrilled he won't be battered by the media

April 11, 2015 19:23

Following the report that the exemption to VVIPs to be frisked at airports will be cancelled, Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, wrote on a social media website, "Read once again in the newspapers today, the removal of my name, from a list of 'exempted people', about the no frisking/security checks at Airports in India. I am glad that this formality is going to be removed, as this was created without my consent, by the security agencies, only to be followed when I would be travelling with an SPG protectees.

My existing security are not allowed inside airports . Since not protected by the SPG, thus my children and I have always travelled like ordinary passengers. Following all rules and norms of security checks, from removing of coats, belts, clearing bags, etc., like we would follow at any airport, world over.

Cameras at every airport, are proof to the information given above and many passengers have mentioned this (on Twitter) contradicting to the so called privilege that I claim to use. Hope this will put a rest to all the battering that I receive from all modes of the media."
