Nevertheless, dissenting voices emphasized the need for Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) to maintain its designation as a silent airport, ensuring a noise-free and peaceful travel experience.

Suggestions were made that such activities should not be confined to any specific religious group, and everyone should have the freedom to showcase their culture.

One commenter, Rohit Jain, supported the display but urged minorities to avoid making noise at the airport. Another perspective, shared by Gemini, underscored that creating noise at the airport is not a matter of pride and encouraged embracing other sources of cultural pride beyond religious affiliations.

Critics expressed concerns about potential disruptions and called for the arrest of those responsible for causing inconvenience to the public at the airport. Sunil Menon cautioned that allowing such events might prompt people from various religions to emulate them, potentially disturbing travelers with excessive noise, according to national and international experts.
