Jet linked with terrorists, Sharad Yadav alleges

New Delhi: Former Civil Aviation Minister Sharad Yadav has written to the Prime Minister asking him to 'stall any move to give security clearance to Jet Airways', alleging that the airlines had "close links with terrorists".
"When I was Civil Aviation Minister, the matter was also under consideration with the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MCA) at that time. The clearance was not given because Ministry of Home Affairs had disturbing information about Jet Airways," he said.
Yadav said a Home Ministry report on Jet had found that Goyal and his airlines had been "steady recipients of large dubious investments originating from Gulf sheikhs" and had intermittent contacts with "underworld dons Chhota Shakeel and Dawood Ibrahim to settle financial disputes."
When contacted, a Jet Airways spokesperson declined to comment.
