Khera was stopped from boarding a flight at Delhi airport on a request from the Assam Police. He was later arrested and the Assam Police opposed the pre-arrest bail.
Congress protested against deboarding and arrest. The party said that first ED was sent to Chhattisgarh and now Pawan Khera was being attacked. From Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, party leaders opposed Khera’s arrest, while others began a protest at the airport.
आज जिस तरह @Pawankhera जी को फ्लाइट से उतारा गया है, वह दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है।
संविधान की धज्जियां उड़ाई जा रही हैं, लेकिन मैं समझता हूं कि जनता इनके घमंड को धराशायी कर देगी।

BJP सरकार ऐड़ी से चोटी और नागपुर से दिल्ली का भी जोर लगा ले, तब भी यह महाअधिवेशन सफल होकर रहेगा।
हम सभी @Pawankhera जी के साथ खड़े हैं।

विपक्ष संसद में मुद्दे उठाए तो नोटिस दिया जाता है।
महाधिवेशन के पहले छतीसगढ़ के हमारे नेताओं पर ED का रेड कराया जाता है।
आज मीडिया चेयरमेन को जहाज़ से ज़बरदस्ती उतारकर गिरफ़्तार किया गया। भारत के लोकतंत्र को मोदी सरकार ने हिटलरशाही बना दिया।
हम इस तानाशाही की घोर निंदा करते हैं।— Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) February 23, 2023
On being deboarded from the flight, Khera said that he was told there was a problem with his luggage, even though he had one handbag. He added that he was told that he cannot go and the DCP wants to meet him. Khera alleged that there was no trace of rules, laws and reasons.
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate alleged that the Congress leaders were heading to Raipur to attend the party’s 85th Plenary Session, she also referred to the incident as ‘dictatorship’.
पवन खेड़ा जी को असम पुलिस गिरफ्तार करके ले जा रही है।
उन्होंने कौन सा ऐसा जुर्म किया है कि उन्हें गिरफ्तार किया गया?
ये तानाशाही नहीं तो और क्या है?
