Penalties only enrich Govt, but it wasn’t Govt that suffered—it was passengers forced to pay up to ₹70K one‑way after cancellations. Real accountability means compensation & reimbursement to every harassed flyer, not just fines on IndiGo. @MoCA_GoI @narendramodi @PMOIndia
Strict Govt Action on Indigo planned 1. CEO may be axed 2. Severe Financial Penalties will be imposed 3. Their flights may be curtailed till they recruit the manpower/pilots 4. New routes approval won’t come till they meet these demands Welcome Steps

Why single out IndiGo mgmt alone? DGCA failed as regulator & even Civil Aviation Minister reacted only after fares hit ₹70K one‑way. Accountability must extend to governance side too, not just airlines. @DGCAIndia @MoCA_GoI @narendramodi
The MD, CEO & COO of @IndiGo6E must be arrested & imprisoned for the planned cancellation and disruptions that caused thousands of passengers to suffer. They used passengers as ransom. @indSupremeCourt & CJI should take suo moto case to punish them. @PMOIndia @narendramodi

India has welcomed many non-democratic leaders before—Qatar’s Emir was received by PM Modi at the airport, earlier Zia‑ul‑Haq & Zhou Enlai too were treated warmly. Selective outrage ignores precedent. Your column reads more like agenda than principle.
India’s greatest achievement since we became a modern nation is that we have remained a democracy. So it shamed me to see the Russian dictator receive a hero’s welcome last week. My column today.

Why not with retrospective effect? Only today paid Rs 45K to @flyspicejet through my nose for my daughter’s flight from Mumbai to Kolkata after her @IndiGo6E flight finally got cancelled after three days of delay notification. @PMOIndia @MoCA_GoI @jagritichandra

High hopes Nothing will happen
Just adding what I said both on @CNNnews18 and @republic yesterday: the Government must: A/. Revoke CEO ship of Peter E B/. Passengers are compensated (refund/hotel/conveyance / onward carrier charges) C/. Impose a penalty of Rs 4000 crores on @IndiGo6E D/. Sack the DGCA chief

IndiGo may have forgotten the flyer. But India has forgotten the homebuyer. This thread shows exactly why real issues affecting crores get ignored while headline noise is reserved for the privileged. Don’t miss this—an important thread by @abhaykol 👇
The IndiGo outrage shows a simple truth: In India, issues matter only when the elite are affected. Media, influencers, anchors — everyone is furious about IndiGo. But where is this energy when crores of homebuyers wait years for homes they already paid for?

Selective outrage doesn’t just expose hypocrisy — it shapes how corporates treat citizens. Until accountability is universal, these fiascos will keep repeating.

This has created a dangerous precedent: When builders face no consequences, other corporates feel emboldened too. If real estate had real accountability, IndiGo wouldn’t dare behave like this. And the irony? Still no compensation for impacted passengers.

A delayed flight becomes a “national crisis.” A delayed home by 10 years? Silence. Why the silence? Because: Real estate funds huge ad revenue Builders pacify influential buyers Governments enforce weak deterrence
