CAA Protests: Permission denied for ex-CM's flight to land in M'luru

Mangaluru: Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had to cancel his trip to Mangaluru from Bengaluru on getting information that the chartered aircraft he was to take was denied permission to land at the airport.

The senior Congress leader was expected to arrive at 1.30 pm today to meet those injured and bereaved families of the two deceased during the violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Condemning the decision not to allow his chartered flight to land in Mangaluru, Siddaramaiah wondered if BJP was attempting to hide anything.

“I had to go to Mangaluru by a chartered flight at 2 PM. Police have no right.. they told the airport authority that no chartered flight can land or take off. It is a suppression of my right and a murder of democracy,” he tweeted.
