Vadra is not frisked but top Generals are

Generals might rule the roost across the border but here they are steadily getting downgraded. Robert Vadra may figure on the list of VIPs exempt from security checks at airports but the army, navy and IAF chiefs are simply not considered important enough to be granted this privilege.

Defence minister A K Antony admitted in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday that his ministry had taken up the case for the three services chiefs to be exempted from security procedures at civil airports, in line with the treatment given to ministers and senior bureaucrats, with the civil aviation ministry.

"(But) ministry of civil aviation and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security have stated that according exemption to service chiefs will lead to similar demands from some other authorities," added Antony.
