Vadra asks govt to remove him off no-frisking list at airports
September 14, 2015  21:26
Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, who is in the elite "no frisking" list at the domestic airports, on Monday pressed the government to take his name off the list.

"Plan 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 wrote in his status message on the Facebook.

As of now, Vadra is not frisked at airports if he travels with an SPG protectee. If he is removed from the elite list, he would be subjected to frisking at all airports even if he travels with an SPG protectee. The issue of Vadra's exemption from frisking and checking at airport has been raised many times.

Significantly, government had recently said that there were no plans to remove his name from the list.

"We are not withdrawing Robert Vadra's name from the list. It is not on our radar," Minister of State for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma had said.
