Comedian and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann on Thursday slammed the Punjab Government, alleging that drug dealers were freely roaming in the State while police was making poor drug addicted youths as scapegoats.
“Punjab Government never thought to eradicate unemployment in the state, due to which the youth got frustrated and slipped to drug addiction,” said Mann, Member of Parliament from Sangrur. Mann, who was in the city for promotion of his upcoming Punjabi movie, alleged that drug lords and dealers were roaming freely in Punjab and police was catching poor youth who are drug addicts.
He alleged that the SAD-BJP combine Government was “unable” to control drug addiction among youth.Venting his ire on the NDA Government, Mann said that he was still living in a hotel in Delhi as the Narendra Modi-led government failed to allot him official accommodation.
Mann also took a dig at former BJP MP from Amritsar, Navjot Singh Sidhu saying that he was daring enough to speak against Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal during public rallies in Haryana, but can’t do it inside Punjab.
