New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemned the move of four airlines banning comedian Kunal Kamra for heckling a television channel editor on an IndiGo flight  on Tuesday, calling the act of ‘a coward leveraging his influence with the government to silence a critic.’

He went on to say, "Those who use their 'news' cameras as 24x7 tools of propaganda, should show some spine when the camera is turned on them."
