Chandigarh, December 20

A post from SpiceJet’s official Twitter account is facing netizens ire where airlines shared picture of air hostesses with veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra. As the cabin crew could be seen donning red outfit, SpiceJet captioned its post as,”Garam-Dharam with our red-hot girls.”

As the post got viral netizens found the caption inappropriate as they feel it to be ‘objectifying’ women.

NCB too took cognisance of the ‘sexist’ caption and asked airlines’ chairman to pull down the ‘contentious’ post.

Dharmendra, however, replied the post and conveyed his greetings to the airlines for the ‘lovely’ journey.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
