Jalandhar : Sukhpal Singh Khaira, Congress spokesperson, has urged the NRIs to boycott the NRI Sammelan at Anandpur and Jalandhar as a mark of protest against NRI Minister Bikram Singh Majithia who is facing accusations of drug trafficking.
“Majithia has been named by druglord Jagdish Bhola as the kingpin of the drug trade in state. Hence, any NRI enjoying his hospitality would mean that he or she endorses his actions. The CBI or a sitting High Court Judge should be asked to uncover the drug trade in Punjab and elsewhere,” said Khaira.
He said the NRI fraternity must show solidarity with those fighting the drug menace in Punjab.
He alleged that Davinder Dev, arrested in the multi-crore drug racket, was related to Muktsar Akali leader Manjit Singh Barkandi, a confidant of the Chief Minister.
