Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu revealed the truth behind IndiGO CEO's viral folded hands picture stating that he was apologising to the people of this country for the trouble the airline caused to the thousands of passengers when it cancelled over 1,000 flights.
00:19What is the truth behind the photo of the CEO virtually apologizing to you?
00:25Did he apologize?
00:26Rajdeep ji, I am glad that you have asked about this thing.
00:30He was folding his hands.
00:32He was seeking an apology.
00:34But not to me, but to the people of this country, which is duly deserved also.
00:38He has to apologize to the people of this country.
00:40I am just a public servant.
00:41It is not me he is apologizing to.
00:43He was apologizing to the people of this country, which was duly necessary.
00:48You see, because I also, and you can correct me if I am wrong,
00:51a statement I hear, that you have said that you will sack the Indigo CEO.
00:56And I am not able to understand.
00:57And can government of India sack a private company CEO?
01:00That is for the board of Indigo to do.
01:03Is it, ye bhi kya public ko khush karne ke liye, minister is saying, don't worry,
01:08I will sack the CEO, when actually you have no powers to sack the CEO of Indigo.
01:12Rajdeep ji, again, here there has been no precedent in these kind of incidents.
01:18And definitely there is a rule of law through which we can act.
01:21But here we have to consider the kind of disruptions that have happened and the distress that the people have gone through.
01:28And if I have said, you have to reconsider my statement here, I have said that if it comes to the point where there is found that due to the negligence or due to the inability of people in the senior management or let it be a certain position,
01:42if it was their inability to act upon this or their mismanagement of this, then definitely we will take up action of that regard in the interest of the people.
01:52We will not hesitate. That is exactly what I said.
01:54So, you are saying that if you think that Indigo had this deliberately done or their negligence was done, then you will say, please sack your CEO.
02:05Yes, yes, definitely. In the interest of the public, we will talk to the airlines regarding it, let the inquiry report come out, let it tell us where exactly the problem lies.
02:15Why have Indigo, who have been running excellent operations for the last 20 years,
02:20this is not a new airline that has come into the block, they have been running optimal, best OTP operations for the last 10 years,
02:27suddenly you are seeing that one single day everything is coming, falling down.
02:31Then who is responsible for this within Indigo itself? Let us look into it, let us study that.
