On Plane Door Row, DMK MP Mocks BJP's Tejasvi Surya With A Message

"To all flyers, in the interest of passenger safety, please don't fool around with the emergency exit," Mr Maran captioned the video.

Sitting by an emergency plane door, DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran underlined that he is not going to pull the door, in a message that appears to be a direct hit at BJP's Tejasvi Surya. To all flyers, in the interest of passenger safety, please don't fool around with the #EmergencyExit!பயணிகளின் அன்பான "அவசர" கவனத்திற்கு!@IndiGo6E@DGCAIndia#ResponsibleMP#don@Tejasvi_Suryapic.twitter.com/PYqjeCfyt8

On December 10, a passenger accidentally opened the emergency door of an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli, the civil aviation minister later confirmed the passenger was Tejasvi Surya and said he opened the door "by mistake" and apologised for it.

"I'm sitting next to the emergency exit, but I'm not going to pull it because it's not good for the safety of the passengers and of the flight, and it saves a lot of time and I don't have to apologise later," the DMK MP, flying to Coimbatore in an IndiGo plane, said in a video message that appears to mock the BJP leader.
