The Congress on Thursday claimed its leader꧅ Pawan Khera was deplaned from a flight to Raipur, where he was going to attend the party's plenary session. Several party leaders got off the plane after Khera was deboarded and staged a dharna on the tarma⛦c.
As drama escalated at terminal one of the domestic airport here, flight staff told Congress leaders there was co♓nfusion with Khera's bags. They said police was on its way and would explain t🔜he reason to him.
ꦿSeveral Congress leaders raised slogans against the govern🦩ment while on the tarmac.
"We are all on the @IndiGo6E flight 6E 204 to Raipur and all of a sudden my colleague @Pawankhera has been asked to deplane," C💃ongress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate, who was also on the flight, said on Twitter.
"What sort of high handedness is this? Is there any rule of law? On what grounds is this being done and und♑er whose order?&q💃uot; she said. The flight was delayed.
Why Pawan Khera is in news?
Khera recently referred to the prime minister as "Narendra Gautamdas Modi" while criticising the Central government over the row involving the business conglomerate headed by Gautam Adani. The ruling party has a🍬ccused him of making fun of the prime minister and his late father.
PM's Modi's full name is Narendra Damodardas Modi, with the middle name Damodardas standing for his father's name, a comm🔜on practice in many ꦚparts of the country.
Delhi BJP on Tuesday staged a protest near Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's residence here, demaꦕnding an apology over her party spokesperson Pawan Khera's "disgraceful" remark against the late father of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Several BJP leaders and workers, including Delhi BJP working president Virendra Sachde🍬va, were detained by the police while they were marching towards Sonia Gandhi's residence.
Sachdeva, who was leading the protest, said Khera's words 🐭reflect the character of the Congress.
"The disgraceful words used by Khera show his and Congress' character. He should be removed from Congress and Sonia Gandhi should apologise f🐲or his conduct."
