Telangana minister for IT and industries KT Rama Rao (KTR) on Sunday requested Indigo Airlines to start respecting local languages after an instance of language-based discrimination went viral on Twitter.

A woman was made to change seats because she understood only Telugu and not English or Hindi. KTR commented, “Dear Indigo Management, I request you to start respecting local languages & passengers who may not be well conversant in English or Hindi.”
