Jet Airways chairman Naresh Goyal on Thursday discussed the issue of staff lay-off with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray and assured him that he will look into their demands.
"In a telephonic conversation with Thackeray, Goyal assured him of looking into our demands," an MNS leader told
