Shiv Sena MP admits hitting AI staffer with slipper
The first time Shiv Sena MP from Osmanabad, Ravindra Gaikwad, reportedly got into a scuffle with the AI staffer over allocation of seats.
In a televised interview on NDTV, the lawmaker admitted to hitting the AI staffer '25 times' with his slipper, saying he was not ready to accept the abuses of the staffer.
He even went on to say (in Hindi), "Why should I take abuse? I am not from BJP."
He said if required, he will take up the matter with the Aviation minister and the Lok Sabha speaker.
Air India has constituted a team to look into the incident, media reports said.
