New Delhi, Nov 1: Opposition parties would work together to defeat the extremely corrupt BJP, said Congress president Rahul Gandhi on November 1 in the presence of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.

The parties would work to ensure an end to the ''attack on democratic institutions'', Mr. Gandhi said after a meeting with Mr. Naidu, who is trying to unite Opposition parties to take on the BJP in 2019 Lok Sabha election.

Mr. Gandhi said Opposition parties would work together on most important issues, including unemployment and ''corruption'' in the Rafale fighter jet deal.

“It is very clear that corruption is taking place. Institutions that can investigate are being attacked... A proper inquiry on what all happened, where the money went and who did corruption... that is what I am pushing very aggressively. Nation wants to know this,” he said.

Mr. Naidu said he was in discussion with all political parties. “We will meet on a common platform and chalk out strategies.”

Responding to a question, he said, “You are interested in candidates, we are interested in the nation.”

New Delhi, Jun 1: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday asked airlines to allot seats in flights in such a manner that middle seats are kept vacant to the extent possible.

However, if a flyer has been allotted the middle seat due to a high passenger load "then additional protective equipment like the wrap-around gown of the Ministry of Textile approved standards" must be provided to that passenger in addition to three-layered face mask and face shield, said the DGCA order, which has been accessed by news agency.

India resumed its domestic passenger flights from May 25 after a gap of two months due to the coronavirus-triggered lockdown. International commercial passenger flights continue to remain suspended in the country.
