New Delhi, Sep 19 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met his Delhi counterpart and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday after returning from an eight-day visit to Germany.

Mann returned on Monday from Germany where he had gone to attract investments.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal alleged that Mann was deplaned from a Lufthansa flight because of being in an inebriated state.

A spokesperson of Lufthansa airline said, "Our flight from Frankfurt to Delhi departed later than originally planned due to a delayed inbound flight and an aircraft change."

Punjab AAP chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang dismissed the allegations against Mann and accused the rival parties of indulging in negative propaganda to defame the chief minister. PTI VIT
