The Centre on Monday clarified it is not planning to issue an order making it mandatory for airlines and airports to play Indian music on the flights and terminal premises.
On the first day of second leg of the budget session, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Ambika Soni raised the issue asking whether the Modi government was mulling a proposal in this direction. Union minister of state for civil aviation General VK Singh said there was no such plan.
The statement from the minister comes months after the ministry of civil aviation had asked all the air carriers and airports to consider playing Indian traditional music on their flights and terminals.
