Ravi Thakor’s daughter & mother were inside BJ Medical College hostel when the Air India flight crashed. Thakor’s family had been working in the hostel mess for 15 years.
Family members were at the hospital to give their blood for DNA samples, so that the victims could be identified and they could claim the bodies of their loved ones.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
