Punjab politics heats up as opposition slams the Centre for landing US deportee flights in Amritsar instead of other states. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann questioned if the move was meant to defame Punjab, while Congress MP Manish Tewari warned against humiliating the state. The BJP defended the decision, citing Amritsar’s proximity for US-bound flights. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar called for introspection on illegal migration. The second flight carrying 119 deportees arrives on Feb 15, followed by a third on Feb 16. The Punjab government has formed an SIT to probe illegal migration networks.
