Accusing Pakistan of supplying drugs in Punjab, the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday warned the Asian neighbour of dire consequences if it does not mend its ways. BJP stalwart, while addressing an election rally in the poll-bound state, assured that whosoever promotes such activity will have to face severe circumstances.
At the same time, Singh blamed Pakistan for the rise in number of drug addicts in the state as banned substances are smuggled from the neighbouring country to Punjab.
He urged the voters to cast their votes in favour of the SAD-BJP alliance yet again as they will provide corruption-free government in Punjab. “There has been no corruption allegations levelled against the Centre in the last two and a half years,” he added.
Singh also expressed his disappointment over the recent incident wherein a shoe was hurled at Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
“If you don’t want to vote then please don’t, but will you lathi charge or throw shoes at the current chief minister of Punjab Prakash Singh BadalIJ” he said.
A shoe was hurled at the Chief Minister Badal earlier this month by a relative of a radical Sikh leader during a poll campaign in lambi constituency reportedly in protest against series of sacrilege cases.
