UPDATE: GoAir has released a statement and said, "The airline doesn't associate itself with personal views expressed by any individual or employee. With immediate effect, GoAir is terminating employment contract of trainee 1st Officer Asif Khan. "
Social media users have been trending the topic ‘Boycott GoAir’ on Twitter, after an employee of the airlines made vilified statements against Sita. Touting it as ‘Hinduphobic’, many have called out the company for having ‘such’ people as part of its cabin crew.
Here are some reactions explaining the tweets and why the trend.
According to Hindu mythology ‘Ramayana’, during Lord Rama’s exile Sita was abducted by Ravana, King of Lanka in the Panchavati forest. Ravana took her back to his kingdom in Lanka and Sita was held as a prisoner in one of his palaces.
During her captivity for a year in Lanka, Ravana expressed his desire for her; however, Sita refused his advances and struggled to maintain her chastity. She was finally rescued by Rama, who waged a war to defeat Ravana. However, upon her rescue she had to undergo a trial by fire to prove her chastity.
