Ludhiana : State Congress spokesperson and former MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira has said the state government should issue a white paper on the police-drug mafia “nexus” in Punjab.
Talking to The Tribune during his visit to Gill village here today, he said sensational disclosures made by former DGP (Prisons) Shashi Kant on this nexus made it imperative for the government to issue a white paper on the matter. The former DGP has prepared a detailed report on the involvement of politicians and police officials in the drug trade. “The public needs to know the truth,” he said.
Demanding resignation of Education Minister SS Maluka in the book scam, he said besides embezzlement of public funds, there had been a large-scale misappropriation of central funds.
Seeking a CBI enquiry into the scam, he said the Congress had no faith in the state Vigilance Bureau or the police.
Khaira said the Congress lost the zila parishad elections due to “rigging” by the ruling alliance.
