‘Sari’ worry for minister Nirmala Sitharaman as she loses baggage on AI flight to Cairns

“Landed in Sydney to take a connecting flight to Cairns. My checked in luggage not traceable,” tweeted Sitharaman.

Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was in for a shock on Thursday after she discovered that her luggage, which she had checked in in an Air India flight, was untraceable.

When Sitharaman, who was on her way to Cairns, landed in Sydney to take a connecting flight, she found that her checked-in baggage had not reached the destination. The BJP leader took to Twitter to express her anguish over the situation, saying all her formal wear was in the lost suitcase.

On board my connecting flight to Cairns. All my formal wear in the lost suitcase! Not sure I can buy Saris in Cairns! Situation precarious!

#Air India – had a word of praise for the music collection on board. But now my luggage missing. Hopefully, you’ll get it in time for me.

The Union Minister also had to skip the G-20 reception as she did not have her luggage.

Sorry to miss the evening reception at the Palm Cove, Cairns. Staying put in the room. No word yet on my lost luggage.
