IndiGo Row: BJP’s Nazia Elahi Khan Calls Airline’s ‘Jihadi Mentality’, Challenges Blacklisting

BJP Leader Nazia Elahi Khan Dares IndiGo After Alleged Harassment at Mumbai Airport.

BJP Minority Leader Nazia Elahi Khan escalated her allegations against IndiGo hours after claiming harassment by airline staff at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. She questioned the airline’s management, hiring policies, and alleged favoritism toward Muslim employees.

In a post on X, Khan challenged IndiGo to blacklist her, saying she was ready to face any action: “IndiGo should listen to its Muslim supporters and blacklist me, because I will not keep quiet. Even if I receive threats from Pakistan to delete what I have posted, I will not remain silent.”

The row follows a video shared by Khan showing a heated argument with IndiGo staff on the tarmac, during which she referred to employees as “Abdul and Abdullah.” The clip quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions online—some questioned the staff’s conduct, while others criticized Khan’s language and tone.

Khan alleged the incident caused her mental stress and inconvenience, claiming it was deliberate and coordinated. IndiGo has not yet issued a detailed public response to her claims.
