No Safety Compromised, Say Sources as Cong Slams BJP Leader for Allegedly Opening Emergency Exit Door of IndiGo Flight

Amid stories of a passenger allegedly opening the emergency exit door of an IndiGo flight earlier than takeoff, the Karnataka Congress on Wednesday levelled recent allegations in opposition to BJP chief Tejasvi Surya and claimed that he was the one behind it. According to stories, the exit was by chance opened by the passenger after boarding the flight at Chennai airport final month.

Congress questioned why BJP was silent on the matter and “hid the incident for so lengthy”. Neither Surya nor his office have reacted to the allegations so far. “Tejasvi Surya is an example of what will happen if children playing games are given the proprietorship. An act of children’s mischief by trying to open the emergency exit door of the plane has come to light. Why prank with the lives of passengers?” Karnataka Congress stated.

Meanwhile, AICC normal secretary in-charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala in a tweet stated, “The BJP VIP Brats ! How dare the airline complain? Is it the norm for the BJP energy elite? Did it compromise passenger security? Ohhh! U can’t ask questions on BJP’s entitled VIP’s !”

Pointing some questions against BJP and the Civil Aviation Ministry, Congress said, “Why has the Ministry of Aviation not taken action on the incident even after a month of pranking on the plane? This is a punishable and serious case, why was it covered up? What is the compensation for the delay and loss of other passengers due to his mischief?”

Sources on the Civil Aviation Ministry reacted to the matter on Wednesday and stated that the emergency exit was by chance opened whereas the flight was nonetheless on the bottom. IndiGo airways assured that the crew took word and subsequently, all acceptable motion such as reinstalling of door, pressurization examine and so forth had been carried out earlier than takeoff.

“What was the MP’s intention? What plans had been there to create a catastrophe? Why was he transferred to the again seat after apologising?,” the Congress asked, while questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi as to who would have been responsible for the disaster if this “prank” had been carried out after take-off.

Questioning whether or not the MP used his good workplaces to suppress this information, Congress MLA and KPCC’s Communications in-charge Priyank Kharge tweeted, “Why is Indigo so hesitant to call the passenger? Why didn’t they report back to DGCA? Why is No Comments from the MP? BJP’s Tejasvi Surya allegedly opened emergency exit of IndiGo flight, flight delayed by 2 hours.”
