Surya National & Political Desk, Chandigarh/New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Punjab today (Tuesday, October 20). He will directly visit the families of the three citizens who lost their lives in the state, strongly opposing drug trafficking and drug peddlers. Amit Shah's second visit to Punjab within a span of 20 days has gained political importance in the wake of the upcoming assembly elections.
Tour to Mansa, Gurdaspur, Sangrur Districts: Amit Shah will meet the affected families in three major districts of Punjab as part of his tour: The Home Minister will visit the family of Parvinder Singh Jhota, an anti-drug activist, who was killed on October 13 in Mansa district.. Gurdaspur district: He will meet the family of Bikramjit Singh, who was attacked and killed while opposing the supply of drugs in Mari Panwan village of Batala. A Dalit man (Gulzar Singh) visits the family and gives them courage. Harsh accusations against the AAP government: Before this visit, the Union Home Minister responded on social media. It is very sad that the drug mafia is being ignored and innocent people are losing their lives.
The Union Home Ministry has already written to the Punjab government to give a full-scale report on these three cases. AAP's counter attack on the Centre: Amit Shah's criticisms have been strongly rebuffed by the Punjab ruling party AAP. AAP accused the BJP of politicizing the issue of drugs when the elections came. It demanded that the Home Minister first answer how drugs worth thousands of crores of rupees are entering the country through Mundra port in Gujarat and why the Center has failed to stop them. The AAP leaders made it clear that the Bhagwant Mann government is taking up the 'Yuddh Nasheyan Baradh' movement against drugs.
