Will add a white tape on my name on the VVIP list: Robert Vadra

Robert Vadra on Facebook asked government to withdraw his name from the VVIP list. Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law has urged government to withdraw his name for the second time in two days. 

"Plans to visit every terminal in the Airports in India and add a white tape on my name from the VVIP list and my signature on top !! So look out ...." posted Vadra on Facebook. 

The government had recently clarified that it had no plans of removing Robert Vadra from the no-frisking list. Vadra said that he had earlier also consented to removing his name from the list. He said that it any case it just takes a minute to get frisked and he had no problem with subjecting himself to such checks like ordinary citizens. 

The Home Ministry has asked the Civil Aviation Ministry to go ahead with its plan to review the list of 33 categories of people, including the Dalai Lama and Vadra, who are currently exempted from frisking at airports in the country. The Home Ministry has said it does not consider the threat perception to Vadra serious enough to warrant his inclusion in the 'no-frisking' list but had advised the Civil Aviation Ministry to take a final call after consultation with the Special Protection Group, which guards his wife Priyanka Gandhi.
