Watch: AAP leader Bhagwant Mann misbehaves with media at a rally in Punjab

In a startling incident, AAP MP Bhagwant MP on Thursday reportedly asked the media to leave a rally voluntarily, failing which they'd be thrown out. This reportedly happened after they questioned him for arriving three hours late.  

At a party rally in Fatehgarh, Mann not only allegedly misbehaved with media persons after arriving four hours behind schedule, but also asked party volunteers not to read newspapers. Mann when confronted by the media for the reason behind the delay in reaching the rally venue at Bassi Pathana got infuriated. Mann shot back to say, "we don't need any media reporting of AAP's functions."

He also asked workers of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to "throw" media persons out of the venue. Some workers also allegedly manhandled media persons after protesting their presence. The workers pushed media persons and tried to snatch their cameras, police said.

Fatehgarh Sahib MP Harinder Singh Khalsa, who was suspended from the party, and who once claimed in parliament that he wanted to sit somewhere else since Mann 'smelled of alcohol'  said: “He is always out of his senses. He must be drunk while doing this blunder.”
