Following Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s accusation that the Centre is attempting to defame the state as part of a conspiracy by landing the aircraft of Indian deportees from the US at Amritsar once again, the BJP National Spokesperson RP Singh has hit back asking to stop politicizing the issue and promoting conspiracy theories due to lack of knowledge.
Chief Minister Mann, in a press conference at Amritsar, last evening, had questioned the move of the Central government and the MEA to choose Amritsar for landing the plane here whereas there are hundreds of other airports in the country.
The Spokesperson Singh, taking to social media, today, said that Amritsar is the closest international airport for flights entering India from the USA. That’s why the US plane carrying illegal immigrants is landing there.
Meanwhile, quoting official sources our Jalandhar Correspondent reports that another special flight carrying more than One Hundred Indian deportees from the US will be landing at Amritsar’s Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, tonight.
Out of these deportees more than 60 are said to be from Punjab. Over 30 belong to Haryana and others are from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, and Maharashtra. A third plane is also expected to land at Amritsar tomorrow with a large number of Indians who are being deported from the states for illegally entering and staying there. Earlier, a US military plane carrying 104 deportees aboard had landed at Amritsar on 5th of this month.
