Following Monday's controversy regarding the renaming of Mumbai International Airport, Maharashtra Cabinet Minister and NCP Leader Nawab Malik slammed the Adani Group regarding the proposed name change.
Yesterday several Shiv Sena workers were seen damaging and vandalising the name board of Adani Airport.
"The Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport's name has been given by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) earlier and was managed by the GVK.... Adani has taken over the stake of GVK. Now, they become co-owners of the Airport. However it doesn't mean that they have to name the airport with their own name. Earlier GVK had done nothing like this" said Malik.
He added "This move is hurting the sentiments of the people of Maharashtra, as well as of the country. The Airport Authority's VIP Gate, has also been renamed by Adani which is not tolerable. It is hurting the sentiments of people. They have to take precautions to avoid problems in the future."
Following the incident, a Spokesperson of the Adani Airport issued a statement and assured no changes have been made to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) branding or terminals.
"In view of incidents around Adani Airports branding at Mumbai International Airport, we assure Adani Airports Holding Limited (AAHL) merely replaced the previous branding with Adani Airports branding and no change has been made to the CSMIA's branding or position at the terminal" said the spokesperson.
