“Fantastic. I am happy with what they have done,” Mr Vadra responded.
Two days ago, Mr Vadra had in a Facebook message conveyed that he wanted to be off the list of VIPs exempt from frisking at airports.
“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 ….” Mr Vadra wrote in his status message.
The businessman, who has been repeatedly targeted by the ruling BJP over controversial land deals and also been accused of enjoying VIP security privileges, had alleged that his name had not been removed from the no-frisking list because of a “conspiracy to malign his image.”
His posts came after the government last week said there were no plans to remove his name from the VIP list.
“Maybe I need to personally go to every airport and delete my name. Will that work? Or is it a part of a larger conspiracy to malign my image? I am humble and as normal as any citizen. So please treat me like one,” Mr Vadra posted.
The no-frisking privilege is granted to constitutional figures and those who have elite Special Protection Group cover, including Mr Vadra’s wife Priyanka, along with her mother Sonia Gandhi and her brother Rahul Gandhi, who are the two top leaders of the Congress party. They are spared the security checks that every other passenger has to go through at the airport.
