MUMBAI: Following controversy over the renaming Mumbai airport, Maharashtra Cabinet Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader Nawab Malik slammed the proposed name change.
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."
