Parties condemn frisking of Kalam

Another party leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy said the behaviour meted out to the former President is “totally unacceptable” “The responsibility of security of airports in India is of CISF,which also carries out the frisking work,” he said adding action should be taken against the staff of the foreign airline for this breach of protocol.

Terming the incident as “unfortunate”,CPI-M’s Sitaram Yechury said,“We would also like to know whether the incident happened due to the name which in that case makes it all the more serious.” SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said the government should seriously raise objections over the incident.

Congress spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said if there has been a breach of protocol,action will be taken by the government after the probe.

“If such a breach of protocol has happened,we need to look into it. I am sure if there has been a breach of trust action will be taken by the ministry after probe,” she said.
