"I was out of the political scene as I had to meet my relatives and friends and moreover why Badal is worried about me," Mann said here in a statement.
Yesterday, Badal, while taking a jibe at Mann said if need arises, the government will trace Lok Sabha MP as it is the duty of every government to trace the "missing person".
Badals's comments came after Mann remained absent from the political conference organised by AAP at Chhapaar Mela in Ludhiana.
"Badal should put his energy to locate those who were responsible for the food grain scam worth Rs 12,000 crore; find out jobs for unemployed youth," Mann said.
"Badal should find out the reasons due to which farmers were forced to take the extreme step of committing suicide," he said.
