While the TDP leaders are trying to convince JC Diwkar Reddy the TDP MP to tender an apology to the airlines for his unruly behaviour, the MP says he would go to the extent resignation and would not seek apology. He opined that there was no mistake from his side. He is being called as rowdy Reddy in the media.
The other MP Gaikwad who has beaten up the staff earlier has defended JC over the issue.
All domestic airlines have announced a “fly ban” on Anantapur Telugu Desam MP J.C. Diwakar Reddy for behaving atrociously with Indigo staff at Visakhapatnam Airport on Thursday. But on Friday night, the MP and a 12-member family contingent flew out to Paris on an Emirates flight, via Dubai, on a personal 10-day trip.
A few minutes before boarding the flight to Paris, the MP defended his behaviour, and said there was no question of offering an apology to the airline.
The rowdy MP Diwakar says will raise issue in Lok Sabha
“I am going to write to the Union civil aviation ministry on my return from Paris detailing what happened at Visakhapatnam Airport and how I am being made a scapegoat in the whole issue, without taking action against Indigo staff who deliberately denied me a boarding pass.
He said he will go to any extent — even tendering his resignation from the Lok Sabha to prove his point. “Self-respect is more important for me than other issues,” he declared.
“I know how to defend myself in the whole episode. I will raise the issue in the Lok Sabha. I demand a thorough investigation into the whole affair wherein Indigo staff overbooked the flight and issued boarding passes to a few and denied the same to many by collecting huge sums.
I am collecting all the details and I will fight to protect my rights both as an individual and also as a Member of Parliament,” said a defiant JC.
