It is time to boycott all US Airlines after Continental Airlines insults former President Kalam with frisking

However, it is time for action for every Indian to rise up and tell Continental Airlines and other US Airlines – Enough is Enough!

Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Thursday said that he has not received any apology from Continental Airlines for frisking him at the Indira Gandhi international airport when he was going on a visit to the US this April. You cannot just insult, then justify, and then apologize! Americans have no right in insulting Indian politicians and former Presidents.

The US carrier first justified its action, saying it was in accordance with procedure. Later, it stated it had sent an apology to Kalam. The incident had created waves in parliament, with MPs from across the spectrum expressing outrage over Kalam being reportedly subjected to a full body check and even asked to remove his footwear as he waited on the aerobridge of the Newark-bound flight at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). ''The frisking was absolutely unpardonable,'' Minister of State for Civil Aviation Praful Patel said in the Rajya Sabha. ''Action will be taken in accordance with the sentiments of the house.''

Indian Parliament should ban Continental Airlines. But you and I can act on our own by boycotting all Airlines operated by American companies. This is not the first time Americans have insulted Indian politicians. This will not be the last one.
