Ravneet Singh Bittu, MP from the Ludhiana Lok Sabha constituency, said the Punjab Government’s campaign against drugs was a political drama of the ruling party. He alleged that instead of nabbing smugglers in the state, the police were harassing the common man in the name of the anti-drug campaign. Bittu stated that if the state government was serious to check the drug menace in Punjab, it should nab the culprits.
Bittu said: “The police nabbed only the poor people, who earn their bread and butter with hard work.”
He said Jagdish Singh Bhola, a drug peddler, had already named the Akali ministers, who had been patronizing the drug trade in the state. Former DGP Shashi Kant had also named a few ministers involved in the drug trade. He alleged that instead of saving the youth, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal was shielding his ministers.”Punjab Politics News
