There is a rising public sentiment that the Surat airport should be named after former prime minister Morarji Desai. Morarji Desai had played a great role in the Independence of our nation and he was elected MP of Surat constituency. In 2014, present Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya had written a letter to Prime Minister Modi, demanding that Surat airport be named after Morarji.
Two other accused Asim Chakravarti and Sunil Milak moved applications before the Ahmedabad district court last week seeking their pardon by turning approver against Sharma.
