NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday lashed out strongly at the opposition for defaming Punjab for drugs said the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is committed to annihilating the drug menace from Punjab.
Addressing a press conference at party headquarter here, chief spokesperson Manwinder Singh Kang said, “The AAP government has successfully managed to curtail the flow of drugs into the state by arresting drug lords in the past four months.”
He even appreciated the functioning of Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav for his proactive policies against drug smugglers.
Kang added, “The Punjab government under the leadership of CM Mann is working tirelessly to eradicate drugs from Punjab to make the state again as ‘Rangla Punjab’.”
He even said this is a testament to the AAP government’s dogged dedication to drug elimination.
Reprimanding the BJP government, Kang said, “Drugs were being smuggled from neighbouring states into Punjab and the central government should intensify its crackdown against it as the AAP government has launched a drive in Punjab to save the future of youngsters.”
He also added that Congress and Akalis nabbed only drug addicts, not drug peddlers.
