New Delhi:

  
Wing Commander Pooja Thakur, who became the first lady officer to lead  the Inter-Service Guard of Honour which was inspected by US President Barack Obama at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi, has moved court after the Indian Air Force denied Permanent Commission to her.

 Thakur has termed the IAF's decision as "biased, discriminatory, arbitrary and unreasonable".

"Armed Forces Tribunal admitted the matter and has sought IAF's response within 4 weeks," reported ANI, quoting Wing CDR Pooja Thakur's Lawyer Sudhanshu Pandey.

"I am an officer first and then a woman. Be it male or female. We are just the same. We are given the same kind of training. We are equals," Pooja had said after representing the IAF commanding the Inter-Services Guard.

Thakur, who joined the Indian Air Force in 2000, belongs to the administrative branch and is currently posted at 'Disha', the publicity cell under the Directorate of Personnel Officers at the Air Force Headquarters.

Wing Commander Pooja Thakur today moved court after the Indian Air Force denied Permanent Commission to her.

Pooja Thakur had given the Guard of Honour to President Barack Obama.
Thakur termed IAF's decision as biased, discriminatory, arbitrary and unreasonable.

This move by IAF is seen in contradiction with PM Modi's call for empowering women in armed forces and Defence Minister's assertion that women will have a bigger role in such services.
