    This is against Tejaswi Surya’s demand for social media to ban others any views publicly. PM should intervene to restore his job and take GoAir for task for going against govt policies. It’s BJP’s freedom of speech.

    The company took action as per its rules and regulation. Every company has its own rules for their employees. So it is the fault of the captain to write in his social media. Why you bring Surya here.
    When MVA or Didi in West Bengal took action on persons for commenting you were silent. Here it is the company took action not any Govt. That is the difference
