Lucknow, March 14: A small aircraft carrying Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav had a minor scare when a cyclist came on the runway during the landing at Saifai airstrip in Etawah district last evening.
Though the district administration denied the occurrence of such incident at the airstrip causing danger to the life of Mr Yadav, a spokesman said an employee’s car was there and that too far away from the aircraft performing his duties.
”There was nothing like a security hazard,” the spokesman told Media Persons here.
Mr Yadav, when contacted in Lucknow, sought to down play the incident saying ”nothing untoward can happen as your wishes are always with me.” Asked whether it was a security breach, the SP president said that this aspect should be looked into by the Uttar Pradesh government. ”The State government knows what security, I am entitled of and what should be done” was his crisp reply to the incident.
