"To be demanding special privileges for "VIPs" in this political atmosphere takes a special kind of disconnect with reality," he wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Omar was reacting to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) asking private airlines to extend special privileges to members of Parliament.
The protocol to be followed by airlines and airports includes reserved lounge facilities, complimentary tea, coffee or water, free access in the terminal building and designation of one officer of airport as Protocol Officer to extend all facilities and courtesies to MPs.
