THE ANTI-HIJACKING BILL, 2016 (As passed by Rajya Sabha) THE MINISTER OF CIVIL AVIATION (SHRI ASHOK GAJAPATHI RAJU) moving the motion for consideration of the Bill, said: There is a slight difference from the previous Bill in the sense that the definitions have changed. This Bill had been introduced in the Rajya Sabha and was referred to the Standing Committee. Out of the four recommendations of the Committee, three were agreed by the Government. The one which was not accepted was with regard to compensation has been left in the realm of the Executive. The death penalty also has been brought in where if a death occurs. So, I would like to request the hon. Members of the House to support the Government on this Bill. SHRI ADHIR RANJAN CHOWDHURY initiating said: Since Independence we have experienced seven nerve-wrecking hijacking incidents in India. The civil aviation industry in our country has been growing exponentially since the new millennium. India is expected to become the third largest aviation market by 2020 and the largest by 2030. But, at the same time it has brought in its stride great vulnerabilities also. That is why, we need to be very vigilant and more holistic in our approach towards the security of our passengers. The first anti- hijacking legislative document was explored in 1963 by the Japanese Government and the same is called the Tokyo Convention. There is a sequence of various Conventions and Protocols which had been culminated in this legislation. There is an urgent need to update the existing air law instruments which this Government has been pursuing and I must support this step. The provisions of Clause 7 of this new Bill will enable India to register a case against hijackers if any Indian is hijacked in any aircraft anywhere across the world. The proposed law would also give teeth to concerned agencies or security forces to immobilize an aircraft or prevent its take-off and also allow the Indian Air Force to scramble its fighters to intercept a hijacked aircraft and force it to land. The other proposed amendments include powers to the agencies and forces to take stern action against those making hoax threats also. Security in airports in India is being provided by various agencies and various Ministries. I would like to give some suggestions. I would like to insert more legal teeth into this legislation. SHRI RAJESH PANDEY: The list of incident of hijacking occurred in the history of civil aviation does not mention the hijacking incident of the plane flying from Delhi to Lucknow on 20th December 1978. This was the first incident of hijacking perpetrated for political benefit. Hijacking in itself is a serious crime. Our government has brought this bill for checking such a crime. We can make several provisions so as to prevent hijacking of planes. We will have to install advanced systems at the airport so as to strengthen the security arrangements at the airports. The ground handling staff are large in numbers and frequently move from one place to other at the airport. Therefore, if a ground handling staff enters the airport after proper security check and frisking then, he or she should not be allowed to go out unless it is very urgent. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to both the hon. Ministers for setting up an international airport at Kushinagar. PROF. SAUGATA ROY: Hijacking is one of the heinous crimes to humanity. The earlier speakers have mentioned about several cases of hijacking that had taken place in the country. Of course, the most shameful case of hijacking was IC-814. An aircraft is the most vulnerable vehicle. Any small explosion can cause the death of a large number of people. That is why, the world stood up and took note, and in 1970, the Hague Convention was first passed. We have taken a long time to enact our own law in this regard. The new Bill defines various important things. Any flying aircraft can be immobilised with electronic jamming. We have not been able to develop our cybernetics to the extent that we can counter this. The aircraft is also dependent on its communication with the control tower. If that is put out of action, then also the aircraft becomes helpless. For the first time, in this Bill, this technological means of electronic warfare has been mentioned. The law has been made much better. Airport security is in the hands of the CISF which is under the Home Ministry. I would like to know how much control your Ministry has on the CISF who are totally in-charge of frisking, checking and everything. SHRI TATHAGATA SATPATHY: The Bill is good and I support it except for a few clarifications that are required. There is this point about compensation. It has not been left to the judiciary but to the executive. Death penalty has been stressed upon in this amended Bill but I do not know whether death penalty alone will be a proper deterrent. The CISF is a force that is guarding all our airports. The airports are very hi-tech establishments and the CISF is not trained or not equipped to handle the exigencies that might arise at any time. I believe that it is time we developed a special force exclusively meant for airport security. Everyone including VIPs should go through the same scrutiny. The third point I would like to mention is that there are these hoax calls and fake hijacking. We must not allow hijacking to happen, and to stop that, you have to make things better which you are not doing. You must have no VIP treatment for anybody. SHRI M. MURLI MOHAN: I welcome this Bill and the TDP Party fully supports the Bill. This Bill will replace the Anti-Hijacking Act, 1982. This is defining hijacking, and it awards death penalty for hijacking in certain cases. The Parliamentary Standing Committee suggested various changes including making hoax calls a punishable offence. My suggestion to the Government is that NIA should be further strengthened and more manpower should be inducted in the CISF. The Bill does not provide compensation for the affected persons in hijacking. I propose that a compensation package not be less than Rs. 4 crore should be provided to the nearest relative of the deceased.
