Following controversy over the renaming Mumbai airport, Maharashtra Cabinet Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/did-ips-officer-rashmi-shukla-take-nod-from-cm-for-tapping-phones-asks-maharashtra-minister-nawab-malik-23185328">Nawab Malik</a> slammed the proposed name change.
Yesterday, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/wont-accept-bjp-leaders-apology-on-shiv-sena-bhavan-remark-says-sanjay-raut-23185922">Shiv Sena</a> workers reportedly damaged boards naming Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport as Adani Airport on Monday.
The senior NCP leader said, "The Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport's name has been given by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) earlier and was managed by GVK...Adani has taken over the stake of GVK. Now, they become co-owners of the Airport. However, it's doesn't mean that they have to name the airport with their own name. Earlier, GVK had done nothing like this."
"This move is hurting the sentiments of the people of Maharashtra, as well as of the country. The Airport Authority's VIP gate, has also been renamed by Adani which is not tolerable. It is hurting the sentiments of people. They have to take precautions to avoid problems in the future," he added.
