India always walks on path of Gautam Buddha, says Jyotiraditya Scindia at Kushinagar Airport launch

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of Kushinagar International Airport on Wednesday, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "Our culture and values are evidence that India has never been an attacker, it never took the path to violence for any nation. PM Modi once said at the UN that while other nations stay prepared for wars, India always walks on the path of Gautam Buddh."

He also announced that the government would begin a direct flight between Delhi and Kushinagar from November 26 and operate four days a week. The initial flights will be operated by budget airlines SpiceJet.

The Kushinagar International Airport was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
