Punjab's political leaders have called on former Home Minister Amit Shah to clarify why the BJP did not act against drug traffickers during its tenure. The demand comes amid growing scrutiny over the party's record on narcotics control.
Punjab's political arena has intensified its scrutiny of former Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding a detailed explanation for the BJP's perceived inaction against drug traffickers during its tenure. The call for accountability was voiced by several opposition leaders and civil society groups in Patiala.
The BJP's period in power has been marred by allegations of insufficient measures to curb the influx of narcotics into the state, a concern that has resurfaced as drug-related incidents rise. Critics argue that the party's policies failed to address the root causes of trafficking networks.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann joined the chorus, urging Shah to provide a comprehensive response. He highlighted the state's ongoing efforts to support farmers and other vulnerable communities, contrasting them with the alleged neglect of drug control measures.
The demand for answers may prompt a closer examination of the BJP's drug policy during its rule, potentially leading to investigations or policy reviews. Public pressure continues to mount as citizens seek transparency and stronger action against narcotics trafficking.
