The man wore underwear instead of a mask on the flight
Adam wore red women’s underwear as a face mask (Florida Man Wear Ladies Underwear as Mask). As soon as the flight crew saw her, they came to remove her underwear (Man Wear Female Underwar as Face Mask). But when Adam refused, he was kicked off the flight. When Adam asked why he was being taken off the flight, the crew said that Adam had not followed the rules of the mask properly.
Airline company banned Adam
Adam said that he has done this in the past to show his protest on some flights. Although he has reached his destination every time, but this time his action was not embraced by the airline personnel. Not only this, United Airlines also later mailed him in which it was told that he has been banned from traveling in that airline forever. In the statement issued by the airline, it has also been said that the passenger has been deboarded for not following the rules of mask.
Why has this bank strike happened?
Let us inform that in the Union Budget presented in February this year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced the privatization of two public sector banks under the Centre’s disinvestment plan. In protest against this, this strike has been done under the banner of UFBU.
However, in response to a question in the Lok Sabha in the winter session of Parliament itself, the government has said that in the budget for 2021-22, the policy of privatization of two public sector banks (PSBs) and strategic disinvestment of public sector enterprises during the year has been approved. was to be approved. The consideration of various issues relating to disinvestment, which includes, inter alia, the selection of the bank, has been entrusted to the Cabinet Committee designated for the purpose. The decision in this regard has not been taken by the concerned cabinet committee for privatization of public sector banks.
