Gosha distributes milk in protest outside liquor vends

Ludhiana: In protest against the decision of the Congress government to open liquor vends during lockdown, Youth Akali Dal district president Gurdeep Singh Gosha distributed milk for free outside liquor vends on Thursday.
He claimed that Punjab was known for milk and milk products but the Congress government was worried about its financial losses and in these times the government had decided to open liquor vends when people do not have money to buy food. Gosha said in the lockdown people do not have jobs, especially daily wagers, and they were dependent upon the administration for grocery and other daily need items and instead of providing them help, the government had opened liquor vends to earn revenue.
He said this was the time when the government should announce relief package, waive electricity bills and school fee, but it has decided to open liquor vends. The people don’t have money to buy food, so how can they buy liquor. The sale of liquor will also lead to increase in cases of domestic violence, he added.
Gosha said to protest against the decision of the government they were distributing milk for free to needy. He also reminded Amarinder Singh of his promise to end the drug menace in Punjab in four weeks. He said lockdown was the time that drug addicts should be treated at de-addiction centres but the government was opening liquor vends.
