"Lost in the esoteric world of thesaurus," Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia accused Congress leader Shashi Tharoor of a "lack of depth" in understanding aviation after Tharoor slammed flight delays. "It's a ModiGovt-made disaster, a result of the Ministry of Civil Aviation’s neglect and incompetence," Tharoor tweeted, highlighting passengers' woes. Scindia dubbed it "armchair" criticism and in a series of posts on X dubbed the Throor's criticism of the situation in airports a "lack of depth in understanding of technical sectors like civil aviation".  The Civil Aviation Minister also wrote, "The treatment meted out to the passengers in the instant case was unacceptable, and we have acted immediately in the form of a show cause notice to the concerned operators. Further, SOPs for better communication to passengers were also issued. Implementation is being monitored thrice daily."
