Chandigarh, Oct 23 (UNI) The arrest of BJP leader and former Congress MLA from Ferozepur Rural Satkar Kaur in a drugs case is another example of how deeply the opposition parties are involved with drug smugglers, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said on Wednesday.
AAP senior spokesperson Neel Garg condemned the role of opposition parties, Congress, BJP, and Akali Dal, in perpetuating drug smuggling in Punjab. He said, “The roots of drug trafficking got deep in Punjab, and these parties have turned a blind eye to the destruction caused by addiction.”
Garg highlighted Satkar Kaur’s arrest, linking her to drug dealings.
He asserted that the political figures have historically provided shelter to drug traffickers, undermining efforts to combat addiction in the state. “This is not just a political issue; it’s about the future of our youth,” he stated.
He criticised the opposition for prioritising political gain over public welfare, claiming they are more focused on defaming the Punjab government rather than addressing the drug crisis. “It’s time for these parties to stop their blame game and take responsibility for their past actions,” Garg urged.
