A
video
of
comedian
Kunal
Kamra
heckling
Arnab
Goswami
has
gone
viral
on
social
media.
Kunal
met
the
news
anchor
on
board
a
flight
to
Pune,
and
shot
a
video
in
which
he
can
be
heard
verbally
assaulting
Goswami,
calling
him
out
for
his
journalism.
Before
posting
the
video,
Kunal
tweeted,
"Met
Arnab
Goswami
on
a
flight
&
gave
him
a
monologue
about
his
'journalism'
All
he
did
was
call
me
mentally
unstable
&
after
sometime
I
had
no
choice
but
to
return
to
my
seat.
The
entire
flight
I'll
keep
pretending
to
use
the
loo
just
to
tell
him
he's
a
piece
of
SHIT
F*CK
Arnab,"
(sic).
Sharing
the
video,
he
wrote
that
he
did
for
Rohith
Vemula,
a
PhD
scholar
at
Hyderabad
Central
University,
who
committed
suicide
alleging
that
he
suffered
caste
based
discrimination
in
the
University.
Rohith's
death
sparked
protests
against
caste
discrimination
in
elite
universities
across
the
country.
Arnab's
Newshour
Debate
on
the
issue,
back
in
the
day,
was
regarded
as
callous
by
some.
Kamra
has
been
banned
from
flying
IndiGo
for
a
period
of
six
months,
the
airline
on
which
the
incident
happened.
In
its
statement,
IndiGo
said
that
Kamra's
conduct
on
board
was
unacceptable.
Not
just
Indigo,
Air
India
also
banned
Kunal
Kamra
from
flying
on
any
of
its
flights
until
further
notice.
He
has
been
condemned
for
the
verbal
assault
by
some,
whereas
some
others
have
shown
him
support.
Anshul
Saxena
tweeted,
"The
way
Kunal
Kamra
heckled
Arnab
Goswami
in
a
flight
shows
Kamra's
frustration.
Funny
thing
is
these
people
call
others
fascists
When
someone
trolls
Ravish
Kumar
on
social
media,
he
projects
it
as
life
threat
&
these
people
cry
"democracy,
secularism,
journalism" all
in
danger,"
(sic).
Shashi
Tharoor
tweeted,
"The
truth
is
that
it
was
time
someone
gave
him
a
taste
of
his
own
medicine.
These
are
the
words
he
regularly
uses
to
berate
his
innocent
victims,
except
he
does
so
in
a
hectoring,
bullying
manner
&
at
higher
volume
&
pitch
than
@kunalkamra88
does
in
this
video."
(sic).
Nirmala
Tai
Halwe
Wali
tweeted,
"Both
Arnab
Goswami
and
Kunal
Kamra
showed
restraint.
Arnab
stayed
silent
and
Kunal
didn't
slap
him.
Hats
off."
(sic).
