New Delhi: Ravindra Gaikwad, the Shiv Sena MP who assaulted an Air India steward, has made it to the pages of the international media.
The Guardian, British Broadcasting Corporation and Agence France-Presse covered the incident where the MP hit the airline steward with his footwear in a dispute over seating.
The AFP copy has been picked up by newspapers in different nations, including Kenyan paper Capital News.
The Guardian report was sparse and just reported details from the incident, where Gaikwad got into an argument with the steward because he was seated in the economy class instead of business class.
The BBC story meanwhile gave a background of the party that the MP belongs to. About the Shiv Sena it said, "Over time, it has acquired a reputation for promoting religious and ethnic chauvinism and has resorted to physical attacks against those its members and supporters oppose."
"In 2015, Shiv Sena activists doused the head of an Indian think-tank in black ink in protest at his support for the launch of a book by a former Pakistani foreign minister."
This is how the international media covered the incident:
