Passengers will return safely: PM

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today expressed confidence that the hijacked passengers, members of the crew and the aircraft would return safely to India at the earliest.

"We are arranging to bring back the passengers, crew and the aircraft very soon," he said while addressing a function to mark the diamond jubilee of the Central Reserve Police Force here.

"We have faced so many crises one after the other and I am happy to note that we have overcome each of them,'' he said.

Vajpayee said recent incidents had proved that there was no place for complacency on matters of internal security.
