People want Kejriwal to explain why Bhagwant Mann violated customs rules: Malhotra

New Delhi, Oct 23 (UNI) Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra on Friday took a dig at Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, stating that he has often been in the news for the wrong reasons like entering Parliament and the Assembly after consuming alcohol, and now he has become the first CM in the country to be fined Rs 50,000 under the Customs Act, 1962, the BJP leader claimed.
Malhotra drew the attention of Aam Aadmi Party Convenor Arvind Kejriwal to the reports according to which Punjab CM Mann, while returning from a foreign trip, allegedly attempted to pass through the green channel despite carrying luxury taxable goods, in violation of customs rules.
However, alert customs officials stopped him, inspected his baggage, and subsequently imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on several items, Malhotra added.
