New Delhi, Feb. 14 -- Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday slammed the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre, and asked why Amritsar airport had been chosen for the landing of another plane carrying illegal Indian immigrants from the US.

The remark comes as two more flights carrying over 100 Indians deported by the Trump government as part of a crackdown, are set to arrive at Guru Ram Dass International Airport in Amritsar on February 15 and February 16.

Mann also alleged that attempts are being made to defame Punjab, questioning why the first plane did not land in Ahmedabad.

Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2-day US visit, the Punjab Chief Minister also asked if the plane arriving was a gift from Donald Trump....
