Some Parties say, Wrong!
Punjab chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann was removed from a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Delhi.
As per the reports it says, he was removed because he was drunk and triggered a huge outcry with opposition parties saying the Punjab Chief Minister has "shamed Punjabis" across the world.
On Sunday, Bhagwant Mann was to take the 1.40 pm flight from Frankfurt, which was already delayed. The flight finally took off at 4.30 pm. Mr Mann reportedly took a different flight, in the early hours of Monday.
Mr Mann's aides say he delayed his return to Delhi as he was unwell. His party AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) has accused the opposition of "spreading propaganda".
According to the tweet, Disturbing media reports quoting co-passengers say Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was deplaned from a Lufthansa flight as he was too drunk to walk. And it led to a 4-hour flight delay. He missed AAP's national convention. These reports have embarrassed and shamed Punjabis all over the globe," tweeted Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Shockingly, Punjab government is mum over these reports involving their CM Bhagwant Mann, Arvind Kejriwal needs to come clean on this issue. The government of India must step in as this involves Punjabi and national pride. If he was deplaned, the government of India must raise the issue with its German counterpart," he added.
The Congress tweeted the news report that quoted a passenger on the Delhi-bound Lufthansa flight in Frankfurt as saying that the Chief Minister was drunk.
