Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh criticised the central government for its handling of the drug problem in Punjab, sharing a video that questioned whether the media outlet Jagran operates in Rajasthan.
Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh, representing Punjab, posted a video on social media highlighting the escalating drug problem in the state and accusing the Union government of insufficient action.
In the clip, Singh rhetorically asked whether the news channel Jagran has any presence in Rajasthan, implying that the drug issue is being overlooked in other regions.
He called for an immediate strengthening of anti‑drug measures, urging the government to enforce stricter controls, expand rehabilitation facilities, and coordinate with state authorities.
The remarks come as recent reports indicate a rise in substance abuse cases across Punjab, prompting renewed public and political pressure for a comprehensive response.
