Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh came under attack in Parliament over the ongoing crisis in the national carrier, Air India (AI), as the biggest opposition party -- BJP -- raised the issue in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
The leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, led the charge demanding Singh's presence in the House to answer questions on the crisis that has crippled the airline because of the ongoing strike of pilots.
The BJP also threatened to move a privilege motion against Singh for making statements outside Parliament indicating that AI would be privatised.
The Opposition argued that while Parliament was in session and the issue was yet to come up for discussion, Singh could not make statements on civil aviation policy outside.
They also wanted to know from the government what it was doing to end the deadlock as the pilots' strike has been causing massive inconvenience to the passengers.
