Close shave for Rahul Gandhi at Delhi airport


New Delhi, Dec 12 (Agencies) : Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had a narrow escape at New Delhi's IGI Airport while returning from Rae Bareli in a private business jet, according to media reports on Thursday.

Gandhi's plane, a Cessna Citation, was given clearance by the Air Traffic Control (ATC) on Tuesday to land on a runway where an Ilyushin aircraft of Indian Air Force was about to take off.

However, moments before his plane was about to land, the ATC asked Gandhi's pilots to abort landing to avoid a collision.

Reports also said that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered probe into the incident.

    If comment is not in their favour then it is called sarcastic, if it is in their favour or taste will be appreciated by few people and given pat & described as excellent.
    This is the truth and is called hypocrisy. It is very well known that most of the daiji commentators are pro-Congi.

    For Justice,

    Your comments are justified.

    People who rejoice at others death should remember that time & life is not permanent for them too.


    If a similar incident occurs (God forbid)to Modi, what would be the reaction of these people.

    It is called split a second and anything could happen in life.

    A scion who travels business Jets belonging to his Jijaji Robber Vadra ( of course we don’t have a problem if it was bought with his hard earned money not looted), talks about poor, talks about improving the conditions of the POOR in Jupiter speed in Rajasthan. That’s why congress s was kicked out in much higher speed than that.

    Only one way to not die is not to born.Death follows all the time with whoever is alive,sometimes it threatens,sometimes it gives warning &definitely one day it will do its job.

    So better not to be happy with others death instead be prepared for our own.
