Air India’s 100% stake sale set in motion; Subramanian Swamy again threatens to move court to stop it
As the government looks to offload its stake in debt-ridden national carrier Air India, BJP MP Subramanian Swamy took to social media to threaten court proceedings against the government if it continues with the divestment procedure. He also called the deal anti-national and said that the government should not “sell our family silver”. Self-proclaimed anti-corruption crusader asked the Narendra Modi government to strengthen the airline instead of selling it. However, taking Air India divestment step further, the government today informed potential investors, by issuing a preliminary information memorandum for 100% stake sale in the airline.
“This deal is wholly anti-national and I will forced to go to court. We cannot sell our family silver,” he tweeted.
