The Viral Post Sparks Debate
The viral photo from the airport has sparked debate online. One user commented, “Why insane? They want the service, give them the service. Charge a little fee, though. If anything, they are generating employment.”
Another comment read, “Lol, this is peak chaos. The airport looks like a wheelchair convention for the India flight.”
“This shamelessness and lack of integrity is why India is still so backward, and why Western countries are right to want to restrict immigration from India,” another netizen added.
One X user commented, “What is this? This is a shameless approach by Indians! Why don’t they have manners? Using the wheelchairs meant for disabled persons to get priority boarding? Shame on you, India… That’s why Europe and other countries want to ban immigration from India.”
