Cong leader fires questions on price rise at Irani in flight, IndiGo begins probe

All India Mahila Congress acting president Netta D’Souza on Sunday fired questions on price rise at Union Minister Smriti Irani when the two came face-to-face on IndiGo’s Delhi-Guwahati flight, with the Minister objecting to being “accosted”.

IndiGo said the incident is currently under investigation.

D’Souza on Sunday posted a short video of the incident on Twitter where she asks Women and Child Development Minister Irani about the rising prices of cooking gas and petrol.

The minister – who was sitting in the first row of the plane – is heard asking D’Souza to not block the way so that people behind her can de-board.
