Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday slammed the removal of senior Congress leader Pawan Khera from Delhi by the Assam police on his way to attend the Raipur Congress session.

Gehlot said on social media that Khera was taken off the flight by the Assam Police while going from Delhi to Raipur to participate in a Congress session.

"What was the emergency that the Assam police came to Delhi and did this act?" Gehlot asked.

He said, "Earlier the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids in Raipur and now this act shows the anger of the BJP. This is condemnable."
