Kochi, July 23 - Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Thursday said that he has not received any apology from Continental Airlines for frisking him at the Indira Gandhi international airport when he was going on a visit to the US this April.
Kalam told reporters here that he did not want to say anything more on the episode.
'Whatever I have said, I have said. I have not received any apology,' he said, adding he had 'no further comments'.
Asked if he considered the frisking an insult, he said: 'The incident is true. I have no more comments.'
The issue has been discussed in the parliament, Kalam added.
Holding that the frisking of the former president was 'absolutely unpardonable', the central government Tuesday ordered an inquiry and issued notice to Continental Airlines for its 'willful violation' of Indian laws, even as the Delhi Police registered a case against it.
