‘Do not go to conclusion’: Center on AI 171 investigation; Question Western Media Objectives | Bharat News
New Delhi: Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Nayajrapu on Sunday expressed confidence in the investigation of the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) in the AI 171 accident, urged people to avoid “jumping on conclusion” until the final report was out. He also questioned the coverage of crash investigation by Western media houses, stating that his articles may be “vested selfishness”.“I believe in AAIB … They have done a wonderful job in decoding the black box in India … It is not a good practice to make any comment until the final report comes … There is no point in jumping to the conclusion at this point,” ANI said the minister said that the minister said.“Aaib has made an appeal to all, especially Western media houses, which can be vested in the kind of articles that are trying to publish articles,” he said.Aaib expressed concern over “selective and unacceptable reporting” after some international outlets on the Ahmedabad plane crash “selective and rejected reporting” by some international outlets, which indicated the blame on the captain of the aircraft based on the information of the US authorities.“It is necessary to respect the sensitivity to the damage faced by the family members of the deceased passengers, the crew of the aircraft and other deceased persons on the ground. It has come to our attention that some sections of the international media are trying to draw conclusions repeatedly through selective and unaware reporting. Such action is irresponsible, especially in investigation. AAIB said in a statement earlier this week, “We want to avoid both the public and the media from spreading stories ahead of time, which risk reducing the integrity of the investigative process.”The bureau issued its statement following a report by The Wall Street Journal, claiming that the captain may close switch -controlling switches to two engines of the aircraft, citing the initial evaluation sources familiar with the initial assessment by the US authorities, that the captain has “mistakenly or deliberately”.
