Chandigarh, January 13, 2019: The Aam Aadmi Party senior leader and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann on Sunday slammed Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh for turning a deaf ear to the drug issue in state. Mann appealed Capt. if he doesn't listen to the issues raised by opposition party then he must atleast listen to the issues raised by his own party MLAs.

In a press statement issued from party headquarters, Mann said that the issue of police and civil officers shielding liquor mafia raised by Zira MLA Kulbir Singh Zira is quite shocking and needs to be taken seriously. Mann said that before Zira another Congress MLA Surjeet Singh Dhiman had raised the issue of drugs being sold by influencial people during Capt. regime. He had accused the drugs mafia is being operated on the tunes of Previous Badal govt.

Mann said that AAP has been raising the issue of drugs in state but no action was taken against the drug mafia by state govt. He said after the issue was raised again by Congress MLA Zira now the Chief Minister must take the issue seriously and action must be taken against drug mafia and officers shielfding them. He said that Capt. must fulfill his promise of weeding out drug mafia from state made before 2017 elections while holding Sri Gutka Sahib in his hand. 

Mann said not 4 but even after 94 weeks of govt. formation, the state is still suffering from drug menace. He said the unemployed youth of state is unable to get out of the clutches of drug. He said MLA Zira has testified that there is no difference of working between previous Badal and Present Capt. govt.
