MUMBAI: Supporters of Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad , who assaulted an Air India staffer in Delhi last week, today called for a bandh in Osmanabad's district to protest his "humiliation" over the incident. "We have called for the Osmanabad bandh to protest the humiliation of our leader by the airlines who have denied him flying rights," Sena district vice president Kamlakar Chavan told PTI over phone. "Is he a terrorist that he has been barred from flying by all airlines," Chavan said. "The testimony of an air hostess on board that flight shows he (Gaikwad) was not at fault," he added. The MP has been barred from flying all major domestic airlines as he refused to apologise for the incident that triggered nationwide outrage.
