The airline ban also triggered criticism from social media users:

This development comes after Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri urged airlines to impose restrictions on Kamra for his action. "Offensive behaviour designed to provoke & create disturbance inside an aircraft is absolutely unacceptable and endangers safety of air travellers. We are left with no option but to advise other airlines to impose similar restrictions on the person concerned," Puri tweeted.
