Modi govt is acting like a bunch of goons by deplaning @Pawankhera ji from the Delhi-Raipur flight and preventing him from joining the AICC Plenary.

Using a flimsy FIR to restrict his movement & silence him is a shameful, unacceptable act. The entire party stands with Pawan ji. pic.twitter.com/mKVeuRGnfR

Khera said he was first told that there was a problem with his baggage. ‘They told me you can't fly. Then they said the DCP (Deputy Commissioner of Police) will meet you. I have been waiting for a long time,’ he said.

A case was taken against him for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The case was for his remarks during a press meet convened on Adani issue. He addressed Modi as Narenda Gautam Das Modi. The complaint was filed by BJP leaders saying the remark was tantamount to insulting the Prime Minister.
