Chandigarh, Sep 19 (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was deplaned in Frankfurt for Delhi-bound Lufthansa flight as he was "too drunk to walk".

As per media reports, Mann, who was on a trip to Germany from September 11-18, delayed his departure as he was reportedly in 'an inebriated state'.

However, his party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has strongly denied the rumours, saying Mann was not deplaned at the Frankfurt airport. The party termed it false and frivolous propaganda by political rivals.

A co-passenger in a message said, "the CM was not steady on his feet as he had imbibed excessive alcohol n had to be supported by his wife/security".

"Our political opponents are spreading these rumours to defame our CM. They cannot digest that CM Mann is working hard to get investment in Punjab. The CM returned as per schedule," party Chief Spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang told the media.

Officials in the Chief Minister's Office claimed that the Chief Minister could not board the flight because of an emergent health concerns.

With many different versions floating around, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal Monday said the reports of the Chief Minister being deplaned from Lufthansa flight as he was "too drunk to walk" have "embarrassed and shamed Punjabis all over the globe".

In a post on Twitter, Badal said: "Disturbing media reports quoting co-passengers say Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was deplaned from Lufthansa flight as he was too drunk to walk. And it led to a 4-hour flight delay. He missed AAP's national convention. These reports have embarrassed & shamed Punjabis all over the globe."

He also said that Arvind Kejriwal should come clean on the issue.

He asked the Indian government to raise the issue with its German counterpart if Mann was deplaned in Frankfurt.

"Shockingly, Punjab government is mum over these reports involving their Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Arvind Kejriwal needs to come clean on this issue. Government of India must step in as this involves Punjabi and national pride. If he was deplaned, GoI must raise the issue with its German counterpart," Badal tweeted.

Setting aside the rumours, AAP's director of media communication Chander Suta Dogra said Mann was a little unwell.

    This happens if a inexperienced, not serious person given important post that to CM chair. He doesn't know the value of the post he is holding. He is not a new customer when it comes to liquor. People elected him, so he is showing his abilities, qualities.

    Everybody is vulnerable to commit an error but do they face an appropriate consequence for their mistake?. Surely if he is found guilty he won’t be spared by AAP when he returns unlike the BJP he won’t be garlanded with a clean chit and big promotion. He will definitely has to face consequences and may be sacked pending inquiry. Blind bhakths hold your Chaddi dance till the inquiry and still there will be disciplinary action if found guilty.

    AAP in general and this Man in particular is a disgrace to our country. In a short span they have become masters of loot and deceit and shortly may start a Corruption Academy for their future cadres.

    In 2017 election time too he was in same state of inebriation & AAP had lost that election, but this time it won as people were of the opinion as we have seen 2 looters till today & let us see what this one does once they get to power. Sad state of affairs for Punjabis, its like from frying pan to the Sanja Chula itself.

    I wonder how Kejriwal was saying ''Congress is finished' a few days back. Karma has hit him really hard.
