Yadav writes to PM against Jet Airways

New Delhi, June 20 (UNI) Former Civil Aviation Minister Sharad Yadav today wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, asking him to stall any move to give security clearance to Jet Airways.

''India is facing international terrorism and by giving security clearance to the company, which has been found close to the recognised terrorist, will be against the interest of the nation,'' said Mr Yadav in the letter.

''We have to keep the security of the nation unharmed,'' he added.

Mr Yadav said the Home Ministry had informed the Civil Aviation Ministry that Jet's chairman Naresh Goyal may have connections with underworld dons Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel.
