It is a flying shame that four airline companies banned a passenger for “unruly behaviour” without any proper enquiry. Three of them did it on the mere say-so of a Union Minister. No due process was observed. And, we think this happens only in a banana republic.

But, can that be reason enough for a Union Minister – in this case, Hardeep Singh Puri with the charge of Civil Aviation – to behave like the Rottweiler of a private TV channel’s anchor, Arnab Goswami? And, order airlines to ban stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra for “heckling” Goswami on board a flight without any due process whatsoever?
