Later speaking to reporters, Tamilisai said, "...she used worse slogans against the BJP government."
The TN BJP chief said when she asked the woman (on arrival at the lounge) if it was appropriate to raise slogans inside a flight, the student started shouting that she had freedom of expression.
The BJP leader said she has lodged a complaint with police, adding they should enquire if some outfit was behind the student. "The words the student used is not expected of an ordinary passenger," she said. DMK chief M K Stalin, meanwhile, in a tweet said he too would say that "Down with BJP's fascist regime", and asked how many people would the government be able to arrest. He said the student must be released forthwith.
The student was reportedly arrested, but there was no official confirmation.
