Centre withdraws Robert Vadra's No Frisking' privileges

New Delhi, Sept 16 (IBNS): The Centre on Wednesday withdrawn Congress supremo Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra's no-frisking privileges.

Welcoming the move, Vadra posted on his Facebook page: "I appreciate that my name will not appear in the VVIP list anymore."

"I hope this is a dead issue now and will not be used against me.
My Best wishes," he said.

He had earlier expressed the wish that his name be removed from the list of VIPs getting the privilege at airports.

I am clear, but wish the concerned authorities would understand that I am NOT A VVIP or a VIP. I am a proud citizen of INDIA !  I have voiced and given my written consent to remove my name from this list, many times.  My conduct says it, but apparently the analysis disclosed by the government on my 'threat perception', allegedly says, I am not required to be on this list, so why double standards in removing and further including my name, in the VVIP list," he had earlier posted on Facebook.

He said: "I do not need this privilege and have never used it. It takes less than a minutes to get frisked and there is nothing to hide, that cameras need be avoided!"

He said: "Maybe I need to personally go to every airport and delete my name, will that work? Or is it a part of a larger conspiracy to malign my image... I am humble and as normal as any citizen, so please treat me like one, otherwise write every Indian citizens name on the VVIP, list and please stop wasting people's time. There are much larger issues to be dealt with, my humble request is to focus on them.
Any other suggestions are welcome."
