I said it when Airbus first started yipping - that sort of stuff (especially in public) does not fly in India, especially with a company with such ties to the state. Hard to believe Airbus actually did this, could be that this sort of refusal to understand the culture played a small part in their losing the contract in the first place.
Demanding a probe into the decision to opt for Boeing planes? That's just crapweasel talk...
Airbus was counting on India's "culture" to get the deal.
