Indian comedian banned by three airlines after a video of him calling out BJP supporter goes viral

Airlines IndiGo, Air India and SpiceJet have banned comedian Kunal Kamra from using their airlines.

This comes in light of his video with Arnab Goswami which is going viral on the internet, since last evening. Arnab Goswami is a staunch right-wing BJP supporter who lauds the current government while ignoring its failings. On the other hand, comedian Kunal Kamra, frequently criticises the government and denounces its communal policies.

The internet is divided over whether what Kunal did was right or wrong

Is it justifiable to enforce a flight ban on a comedian who heckles a popular news presenter on a flight? Especially when reporters from the presenter’s channel have done the same to others?
