Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia engaged in a war of words with Congress leader Shashi Tharoor over the disrupted flight operations due to fog conditions. Tharoor, criticizing the government's preparedness, highlighted passengers enduring up to 12-hour flight delays and dining on tarmacs.
The Congress leader criticised the authorities for not being able to upgrade the CAT III-B runways to the CAT III-C category which would allow pilots to land flights even at zero visibility.
Responding on X, Scindia dismissed Tharoor by saying “It is for someone who is lost in his esoteric world of thesaurus that data mining of selective press articles from the internet qualifies as “research”. Here are some actual facts for arm-chair critic @ShashiTharoor and the Cong IT Cell that might help tackle their lack of depth in understanding of technical sectors like civil aviation.”
