IndiGo emergency door opening case: Won't glorify Cong's criticism, says Tejasvi Surya


Bengaluru, Jan 21 (IANS): Reacting for the first time on the aircraft's emergency door opening incident, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Bengaluru South, Tejasvi Surya on Saturday said a clarification on the matter has already been provided, and he will "not further glorify the criticism of the Congress".

While the airline -- IndiGo, did not name the passenger, some passengers travelling on the same flight had claimed that it was Tejasvi Surya. The BJP leader, however, had maintained a silence on the issue.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday after flagging off Namo Charity Run in Bengaluru, Surya said the airlines and the DGCA have given clarification regarding the incident.

"The Union Minister for Civil Aviation has explained that it was an incident that took place accidentally. K. Annamalai, the Tamil Nadu BJP president who was travelling with me also explained what exactly happened. Two other passengers have also given clarification over the incident," he said.

"I don't want to react in the backdrop of criticism from the Congress party or someone asking something, and glorify their criticism," MP Tejasvi Surya claimed.

A controversy had broken out recently after IndiGo Airlines had released a statement that a passenger had opened the emergency door of its Chennai-Tiruchirapalli flight on December 10, 2022 leading to a two hour delay in the flight departure.

Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia confirmed on Wednesday (January 18) that the door was opened last month "by mistake", and the person who opened it has apologised.

IndiGo had said on Tuesday that a passenger accidentally opened the emergency exit of a plane at the Chennai airport on December 10. The passenger had apologised, said the airlines.

While the airline did not name the passenger, few opposition parties have reacted on the matter, claiming that the person responsible for the act is Tejasvi Surya.

Without naming Surya, the Civil Aviation Minister on Wednesday confirmed that the passenger who by mistake opened the emergency exit, leading to a two hour delay of the flight, has apologised for his act.

"I won't respond to what the opposition is saying. It's important to look at the facts. The door was opened by him by mistake when the flight was on the ground and after all checks, the flight was allowed to take off," Scindia said.

    Dear Tejaswi, instead of focusing on the opposition party comments, the best to do would have been to accept the blunder that you have done under the influence substance/power, and your poor thoughts of getting away by doing anything. this would have made you a better person. @Sir Annamalai - now what more do we say about you? probably we just have to claim that you were beside us when the incident happened... and the rest will be taken care on behalf of us since you have given a statement. @Indigo Airlines - what are you guys afraid of? Is it not your responsibility to file a formal complaint to seek necessary action?

    LONDON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - British police fined Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday for failing to wear a seat belt. Here he (PM) alone is in danger. How ever diaper baby put 78 people life in danger, and aviation, and one ex IPS give funny statements (Just touched and opened, is it glued door to touch and open?). Moreover diaper statement contradict others statement. He was not at all booked for his grave offence.

    looks like Tejasvi Surya will join the Aviation course to understand how to open the Aeroplane door, It is very bad, if BJP uses public fund for these trainings.

    Rudy sir, Everyone makes fun of him poor Jossey sir. He is the only person, who got highest scoldings/teases through comments in this daiji portal....next targetted person is me. Anyways, we don't know (i dont know about you) who is he, how is he, how old is he etc. So, we cannot judge him depending on his comments about 45 prostate enlargement etc etc....One thing is true and clear....everyone has to go through process majority older ppl now and younger ones on the way. We should support such people who go through age related issuses like menopause/prostate issues/urine problems etc. Jossey sir, hame maaf keejiye bachcha samaz kar...

    All BJP ministers including this ‘Mistake Maker’ Tejaswi Surya always does mistakes by mistake. Without repeated mistakes BJP can not survive and there are caged puppets to give you clean chit for all your recurring mistakes. Keep doing mistakes, it’s legal for you umpteen times.
