Do you beleive this, in the tone it is explained. Iam sure if I have to buy the argument that Indian Immigration officials reacted in a rude and inhumane manner, but will the AirFrance also follow suit ?
When somebody has committed a mistake or forgotten travel documentation during visit abroad, we feel for it and approach the concerned officials with an attitude that is totally different otherwise. This story is "build-up" as I feel that Vijay's attitude in dealing at that situation must have compelled the officials to follow the hardline and so must have been the case with Airfrance officials.
I have seen people who make such scenes in the public place and I would feel sorry for the security / officials concerned dealing with such persons.
Yes, the kids suffered is true but the parents are to be blamed solely for the incident. Unfortunately the sympathy factor took a back step this time. Better luck next time.
In my opinion, both immigration and Vijay & Vaishali is culprit. First mistake is from Vijay and Vaishali for forgetting the visa (Which is of PRIME IMPORTANT When anybody travels to any foreign nation--There is no harm in checking the visa two or three times before and during the journey..!!).
Ok..now as things happened like forgetting the visa,The Mistake from immigration side is that they dont have any humanitarian consideration to anybody except for WHITE SKIN..!!If you go to any foreign nation, you should see how gratefully they take care about there citizens in the immigration counter (separate counter, with a smiling face, with humanitarian considerations).
I think INDIA is the only country who behave badly with there counterparts mainly in the immigration counter...my own experiences are not at all good in this regard. They handle people with JELOUS. The outcome of RESERVATIONS on government positions and there hunger for money in the form of getting bribe will give white skin everything they wanted and not the basic thing an Indian national wanted ...!!!( I am looking around, no.. Gandhiji is not around...to help, we are going back to where Gandhiji started from).
Laws are made for the good of the common man to bring about a system in a process inorder to avoid chaos. However, when the laws themselves fail to see the light or reason/logic, they can become harmful as has been highlighted in the case above. Since I have heard only one side of the story, and assuming what has been said to be true, it truly speaks poorly of the Indian official (ACP) who could do such a thing. There is a great necessity now a days to understand the reason for a law and to act accordingly. At the same time, the difference between bending the law for a genuine cause (which causes no harm to society or others) and breaking the law (for personal benefits, causing distress to the society) should clearly be known.
Hey Vijay sorry to hear reg ur experience but the officials could have been bribed for the transit visa. our airport officials need that only.. throw few dollars and they will do anything they. no rules. stupid people and on top of it illiterate.
while vijay's mistake is not simple, i do not accept the cop's behaviour in the airport. they should have given at least 3 hours for getting the fax copy!! i remember once i went thru same kind of humiliation in swiss embassy in bombay!!! GOD save OUR country!!
I have very Bad experiance about those Guys You should have offered them MOney Insted of pleading they just understand the money power or WHITE skeen where they think they have more power than anyone
By the way who was that office you should have noted his name and publish in the public and send one message like munnabhai2 mentally Ill and ask all Mumbaikar or Indian to send flawers to him
Look at our government How they are just running behind US
I think you can suggest how Mumbai Immigration should have behaved, but You cant blame Mumbai them when you have already done mistake. Certainly they were too rude to follow their rules strictly, without realising the situation and timing flexibilities. And you should be ashamed of your being indian as you ve forgot to get Visa for ur kids, rediculous undiscipline by you!!!
The customer serviec that people get at the airport is pathetic. The way the speak to passengers is disgusting and i think this is true through out india. i feel really sorry for My Vijay and his family and although he was also at fault but you can't overlook custom officials behavious. Pathetic
