Nearly 150 pilots gather at Gateway of India to support Kiran Bedi-led anti-graft rally, say they want to expose corruption within Air India ranks

On day five of the Air India pilot strike, nearly 150 pilots from the Indian Commercial Pilots' Association gathered at the Gateway of India to join in an anti-corruption rally, conflating their strike with Anna Hazare's anti-corruption agenda. They merged with other youth that had gathered at the memorial to show solidarity with Hazare, and cited victimisation at the hands of "corrupt AI authorities".
