Deportation Drama: CM Mann Accuses Centre of Targeting Punjab
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has launched a scathing attack on the central government over the continuous landing of these planes in Amritsar. During a press conference in Amritsar, CM Mann raised the question, “Why is only Amritsar being chosen? These planes can be landed at other airports as well, but this is not being done.” He alleged that the central government is conspiring to defame Punjabis.
Calling this problem a national issue, CM Mann said that deportation is not limited to Punjab only, but it is a problem of the whole country. He appealed to the central government to land these flights in other states as well so that there is no attempt to defame Punjab unnecessarily.
