'I'm No Terrorist': Charanjit Channi on being denied permission to fly amid PM's visit to Jalandhar

Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday claimed that he was "suddenly" denied permission to fly to Hoshiarpur as it was declared a no-fly zone because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Jalandhar. Consequently, he was unable to attend former Congress president Rahul Gandhi's public meeting in Hoshiarpur. The Punjab Chief Minister stated that he had permission for flying and landing at Hoshiarpur which was later withdrawn, complaining that four hours of his time got wasted. He also remarked that he is the state's chief minister and not a terrorist.
