FATEHGARH SAHIB: After recovery of  a huge quantity of intoxicating drugs was seized from the chemist shop of state president of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Avtar Singh Karimpuri in Hoshiarpur , the Bahujan Samaj Morcha Monday asked the party chief to quit his post on moral grounds.

Presiding over a meeting of party workers here , the state general secretary of the morcha Avtar Singh Latour  said it was unfortunate that the leaders claiming to represent the masses were involved in trade of addictive drugs.

In such a scenario, what would happen to the younger generations and how could they be saved from the menace of drug addiction, he wondered.

The morcha leader advised state government to address basic problems of common man on priority basis rather than making tall claims of imaginary achievements.
