Relatives meet PM again

Tara Shankar Sahay, Josy Joseph in New Delhi

A bus-load of relatives of the passengers of the hijacked India Airlines Flight 814 met Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today.

Emerging from the meeting, they refused to talk to the media. One of the relatives, Rajeev Gupta said angrily, ''This is all hogwash. Nothing is being done.''

The relatives then proceeded to meet Minister of State for Small-Scale, Agro and Rural Industries Vasundhara Raje.

As announced earlier, the minister will brief them on the day's developments.

Angry relatives staged demonstrations yesterday against the government, condemning its sloppy handling of the crisis. Some relatives even organised a sit-in outside Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's residence.
