INCREDIBLE INDIA - slogan by team Indian Tourism
Union Min. for Aviation , Mr. Ashok Gajapathi Raju says , " I carry matchbox and lighters on board planes , I am a minister. "
And he goes on to say , " I am yet to come across an incident worldwide where a matchbox became a threat. " Logic ......Logic ...... Logic ......
I'm sure even POTUS doesn't claim such a privilege on Airforce One ! Does he ?
