Cong leaders complicit in drug trafficking in Punjab : AAP

Chandigarh, Nov 23 (UNI) Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh, who had taken a solemn vow in the presence of Sri 'Gutka' Sahib to eradicate the menace of drugs in weeks after assuming power in 2017, had been one with the drug lords now, extending political patronage to them.

The illicit liquor allegedly recovered from Congress stalwart in the Patti area of Amritsar by the district police, had exposed the nexus between the Congress leaders and the drug lords running drug trafficking without a scantest fear of the law. This was stated by Kotkapura MLA Kultar Singh Sandhawan and Barnala MLA Meet Hayer in a statement issued from the party headquarters in Chandigarh here on Monday.

The AAP leaders said the Capt. Amarinder Singh government had been extending patronage to the drug smugglers, who had earlier the blessings of leaders of then Akali Dal (Badal), ruining innocent lives of youth in the state, by allegedly pushing them into the dragnet of drugs.
The AAP MLAs alleged that earlier links of drug lord Rano from Ludhiana area with Akali Dal and Congress leaders had hit the newspaper headlines, adding that the involvement of Captain Amarinder Singh's OSD in that case had also surfaced in the media and gone viral on the social media platforms, leaving nothing to speculation that the politician and drug lords were hand in glove with each other.
The AAP leaders revealed that the illicit liquor, allegedly smuggled from outside the state by Congress leaders Sekhon brothers, had exposed the nexus, adding that while the Congress leaders, CM's OSD, ministers and Congress MLAs were busy facilitating drug traffickers to have their way, Capt. Amarinder Singh was busy ensuring their safety, the leaders further said.
