They have gone through the first set of the investigation process, and they have given the preliminary investigation report. And if you look at the preliminary report, the AAIB has for the first time… the AAIB has a very definitive, thorough, rule-based process and they are totally unbiased,” he said.
“I have seen multiple articles not only in the Indian media but also in the Western Media, trying to promote their viewpoint. But I have to tell you that the way we have to see the investigation is through the facts. We want to stand by the truth. We want to find out what exactly happened and will only come out once the final report is released. So we have to respect the process of investigation, and once that process of investigation has happened and then we can talk about how it happened and why it happened. Then the corrective measures will come in,” he added.
