Slap-happy Sena MP Gaikwad to make an appearance in Parliament today

April 06, 2017 09:26

Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad will attend the Lok Sabha on Thursday, his first appearance in the House since being banned by major airlines for assaulting a senior Air India official last month.

The parliamentarian is expected to address the media after attending the House.

Gaikwad had last week attempted to book air tickets using different honorifics and spellings of his name, but his efforts were in vain. Ravindra Gaikwad, Professor Ravindra Gaikwad and Professor V Ravindra Gaikwad were a few names he used.

Last month, 57-year old Gaikwad, a Lok Sabha member from Osmanabad in Maharashtra, had abused and assaulted a 60-year-old duty manager of Air India with slippers just because he had to travel economy class on an all-economy flight though he had an open business class ticket.

Air India has refused to fly the MP, following which other private airlines too refused to fly him. An FIR was also registered against him.

According to reports, Gaikwad flew into Delhi yesterday on a chartered flight.
