Aam Aadmi Party on Sunil Jakhar's statement
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, July 12-
Reacting to the statement of Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar, senior leader and spokesperson of AAP Neel Garg said that he (Jakhar) is trying to mislead people on the issue of law and order. In fact, drugs, gangsters and mafia dominated Punjab during the Akali-BJP government from 2007 to 2017. The same people are still part of this nexus.
Neel Garg said that Sunil Jakhar only sheds crocodile tears on every issue related to Punjab. During the 2017 assembly elections, Captain Amarinder Singh, with Congress leaders, had taken an oath on Gutka Sahib that we will eliminate drugs from Punjab in four weeks and Jakhar was the head of the party during the Captain government, but did not speak against drug abuse even once.
He said that unlike the Akali BJP and Congress government, the Mann government is working seriously to eliminate drug gangsters and mafia from Punjab. So far, the government has arrested more than 32 thousand drug smugglers and registered 25 thousand cases. NCRB data also says that the law and order situation in Punjab is much better than neighboring states. This is because Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is very serious about law and order.
