Mahua Moitra refused to consider it as the anger of common passengers. He said it was his "Harassment" And their safety inside the plane has been compromised. He has sent a 7-page formal complaint to Indigo Airlines and demanded strict action against the guilty passengers.
The MP also appealed to the airline to make the crew report public and put these passengers on the no-fly list. He tagged Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu in the post and requested for his intervention.
What did Mahua say?
Mahua said that earlier she had ignored the incident and went straight to the meeting. But later when they came to know that some people "unionist" When it was going viral in the group, he made the matter public.
Taking aim at the culture of BJP, he said that there is nothing new in such behaviour. Indigo has asked for a formal complaint from them, which they are sending. This whole matter has sparked a new debate on the safety of passengers in aircraft and methods of political protest.
