“I will not fly IndiGo”, Anurag Kashyap willingly puts himself in the no-fly list for Kunal Kamra

It’s been more than a week since the Arnab Goswami-Kunal Kamra episode surfaced, and the controversy simply refuses to die down. After Kamra pulled off his little stunt on a Mumbai-Lucknow Indigo flight, he was served with a 6-month fly ban by the Airline. Owing to the preposterous display of stunts by Kunal Kamra while in a flight, he was subsequently banned by Air India, SpiceJet and Go Air as well. Minister of State (Independent Charge) Hardeep Singh Puri had earlier advised all airlines to ban the man as he posed a visible threat to humans.

Birds of the same feather flock together, as a result of which, Anurag Kashyap decided to stand in solidarity with the visibly deranged Kunal Kamra, whose mental health has been brought under severe questioning by sane Indians. Kashyap was due to fly to Kolkata two days ago, and the organizers of the event he was supposed to attend had booked him on an Indigo flight. Being the elitist he is, Anurag Kashyap threw a magnificent tantrum and forced the organizers to book him on a Vistara flight. He then tweeted about the same and claimed that he had done so in solidarity with Kamra. He further added that he would not be flying Indigo till Kunal’s fly ban was lifted.

Anurag Kashyap’s desperation to make news is out for all of us to see. What else explains this extremely childish behaviour of the man. It is almost as if Anurag is putting himself in the no-fly list. “I was booked on IndiGo by the organisers. After Kamra was banned, I told the organisers I will not fly IndiGo. I told them I will not fly this airline because I thought the ban was very unreasonable. My thing is: there is nothing I can do about it. It does not make much of a difference. But as I wanted to register my dissent, I thought that I would not fly IndiGo. I want to fly Vistara,” Kashyap said.

While Anurag Kashyap’s twitter bio clearly states that he is neither associated with the right or the left, his timeline is filled with vile Modi and BJP hatred. As such, for him to stand up for a deranged personality like Kunal Kamra is only imperative. Since he is so committed to Kamra, he might as well also boycott Air India, SpiceJet and Go Air, as all these airlines too have put passenger safety well above the left-liberal outrage.
