Insensitivity of Kingfisher

Constitution of India gives equal rights to each & every citizen of India. There can be no discrimination against a citizen on the basis of his/her caste, creed, gender or anything else. It is supposed so to happen. Is it really the situation in reality? It doesn't seem so. Almost, one third of Indian population falls under the category of disabled. They also have the same rights as we have. They should not be discriminated due to their physical condition. But, at times, society shows bias towards them. However, as civilized, we are assumed to show some degree of sensitivity for them. In a scenario, when there are efforts at various fronts (government as well as individual) to include them into the mainstream, certain incidents force us to pay the attention and give them a thought. One such incident happened recently, one a blind women named "Shabnam Ansari" was not allowed to board the Mumbai-Goa flight of Kingfisher RedReason: she being a blind can not board the flight. This incident was reported by a Hindi news channel "Live India" today evening. Is there any rule according to which blind or other disable cannot board a plane? If not, then why such insensitivity from Kingfisher's side? Will Kingfisher answer? Recently some other incidents show how insensitive airlines may be in certain situations. Society should take notice of such incidents and discourage them.
