NewsX@9 is NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. The call of duty and the pledge of safety has made Rahul Gandhi's pilot a hero of sorts. The pilot refused to take off after receiving weather warnings, though it meant leaving Gandhi somewhat in the lurch and not very happy. Reports of pressure from the Defence Ministry that emanate in the backdrop of previous helicopter crashes involving politicians are a worrying reminder that doing your job in India often means facing some unjust flak from the powers that be. ndia has lost at least 4 big leaders over the last decade to helicopter and plane crashes. Chief Ministers of Arunachal and Andhra Pradesh besides Lok Sabha Speaker Balayogi and Congress stalwart Madhavrao Scindia died in horrific crashes. So we debate today- Shouldn't the pilot who refused to fly Rahul Gandhi be lauded as a hero? We debate the question on the show and try to evolve consensus among our panelists over the issue. Watch this NewsX debate specials how NewsX@9.
