> Yesterday I was offloaded from Kingfisher flight to Dharmsala. The entire

> I was on my way to deliver Anna's message in Kangra. I was asked not to
> board the flight despite undergoing all security checks and having a
> stamped boarding pass.

>
> Today there is a Public Gathering in Kangra organized by India Against
> Corruption volunteers. As you must be aware we are on a national yatra to
> spread Anna.s message related to 25th July across the country. I am on my
> way to the venue but now by road. Let me take you through the entire
> incident as it unfolded yesterday.

>
> The flight from Delhi to Dharmsala was scheduled at 2:55 PM yesterday and
> was delayed by more than 1 hour. I had checked in online and reported good
> 75 minutes before the departure at the airport counter. Kingfisher staff
> stamped my boarding pass (attached) and asked me to wait for the boarding
> call. The boarding was announced around 3:30 PM and I got in the queue to
> board.
>
> Just at the boarding gate when they scanned my boarding pass the machine
> gave an error. The Kingfisher staff asked me to step aside. They allowed
> all the passengers to board the flight while I waited for my turn. Once
> the boarding was complete they asked me to leave the scene saying that my
> ticket has been cancelled!!!
>
> I asked them how is it possible that when I have a stamped boarding pass,
> my ticket has been cancelled. They said that the airlines had called me
> around 2:45 PM and asked me if I want to fly. According to Kingfisher I
> answered that call and that too in negative i.e. I said that I do not want
> to fly. This was ridiculous. First of all I did not answer any such call .
> the call is still in my missed call list. Secondly, when I had taken the
> boarding pass, how could the airlines cancel my ticket when I was
> physically present to board it?
>
> Friends, I have been facing such apathy and I am sure each one of you who
> has raised his voice must be facing such treatment at some level or the
> other. Such experiences go onto only strengthen our resolve in the fight
> against corruption.
>
> Anna.s message has to reach each and every corner of the country and I am
> on my way to deliver it in Dharamsala.
