He continued: “After the incident @jetairways staff completely refuses to take any action against the man who assaulted me. Basically @jetairways sees no difference between someone who assaults nd d person who is assaulted. They will deplane you, if you complain.” Kumar has targeted the Narendra Modi government during his speech in Mumbai, saying that this was a government of “selfies” and “jumlas” and that no real work was being done.
“We do not see politics as only limited to the elections. For us politics is a revolution! We want a government of revolution. We want to challenge the inequality and the ‘Brahmanvaad’ in Indian society. This is our struggle!”, said Kumar in Mumbai. In a direct challenge to the central BJP government, Kumar said that the oppressed masses will ‘wage a war’ against ‘capitalists and RSS’.
Yet again, this time inside the aircraft, a man tries to strangulate me.
