  Amritdhari Sikh girl alleges discrimination on board British Airways flight

  By Vijay Pal Brar

  Chandigarh, September 29, 2017:

  An Amritdhari (baptized) Sikh girl alleged she was denied drinking water on board British Airways flight on way to London from Canada.

  A journalist by profession, Harsharan Kaur has posted the incident on Facebook.

  When asked, the flight staff said they forgot to offer her water by mistake, she alleged.

  She also alleged having been denied food even as all other passengers were served the same. She was offered food only when she pointed this out to the staff angrily.

  She, however, refused to eat out of protest.   

  Later, she asked for juice which again was allegedly denied to her till the flight landed at London’s Heathrow Airport.

  Harsharan Kaur alleged this type of discriminatory treatment was meted out to her because she was an Amrtidhari Sikh girl.

  She lodged a written complaint after reaching Heathrow Airport.

Wow, I know her!

Next time choose Air India and it flies non-stop from UK to Canada. British Airways is mostly used by white people.

honestly she could have got up and got water or ask another staff member , a little too much protesting after the fact . I've travelled with BA and never had a problem but given the world's craziness lately it's possible she could have had an on purpose situation. BA policy on special diet meals is they are handed out before the main tranche so I really do not know what is up , unless she didn't bother confirming on check-in.  I hear she got water and then food but delayed but she didn't eat it ... God knows what was the problem unless she didn't specify Indian veg

Always two sides to a story. 

I'm sure she was offered water. If not, why not put her hand up and ask for it ?

Maybe she should have told them *politely* rather than *angrily* (easier said than done)

Anyone think maybe, she is trying to create attention for herself?

So true.

 

Travelled with BA as well. Never had any problems from the Gorey, international or domestic in fact. Ironically the most inconvenienced iv been is at the hands of so called apney who seem to have a stick up their proverbial a$$es.
