Union Minister Bhagwat Karad, a pediatrician by qualification, on Tuesday helped a co-passenger who was feeling uneasy on a Delhi-Mumbai IndiGo flight.
A release from the office of the Union minister of state for finance here said the passenger complained of giddiness mid-air due to a blood pressure issue and the former reached out and provided first aid.
Dr Karad helped stabilise the passenger after he fell down, it added.
Appreciating the minister's gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, "A doctor at heart, always! Great gesture by my colleague @DrBhagwatKarad."
The Indigo airline also offered its gratitude and sincere appreciation to the minister and said his voluntary support for helping out a fellow passenger is ever so inspiring.
