Amritsar, August 3
UK’s Punjabi-origin MP Tanmanjit Singh Dhesi was reportedly stopped by the immigration authorities at the Amritsar airport for two hours this morning. He reached Amritsar via an Air India flight (AI-118) from Birmingham at 9 am.
According to information, Dhesi did not have an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card. The immigration officials asked him for the documents following which he was stopped at the airport.
It took two hours to provide all documents before the authorities allowed him to leave the airport around 11am. There was, however, no statement or reaction about the incident by Dhesi on his social media platforms.

run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
