Only damaged Arnab's inflated ego: Kamra

January 29, 2020 14:46

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, who has been banned by four airlines for heckling journalist Arnab Goswami on board an Indigo Airline flight from Mumbai to Lucknow, tweets this statement on the incident. Kamra put out this tweet before GoAir suspended him from flying.

"It's not shocking at all to me that for exercising my right to speech, which falls under article 19 of our constitution, 3 airlines have given me a temporary ban from flying.

"Fact of the matter is that at no point was I disruptive and at no point did I not follow orders of the cabin crew or the captain. At no point did I endanger the safety of any passenger on board, the only damage I caused was to the inflated ego to the 'journalist' Arnab Goswami.

"To my limited knowledge no formal complaint has been made by the crew or Arnab or anyone else taking the flight. Whenever there was an intervention by any member of the crew I complied. If expressing myself to an important public figure, who himself points a camera day in and day out, catching people off guard is a crime, then Both of us are criminals.

"Now let's forget indigo for a moment, I haven't even travelled Spicejet or Air India in this event and there's no pattern here of me being unruly.

"This was the first time something like this has happened, so why have they jumped the gun and banned me? I've travelled Spicejet and Air India in the past. There have been no complaints against me ever, only selfies and love has been shared by the crew.

"In the words of OSHO - WHATT THE PHUCK IS GOING ON HERE."
