launching a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Shiromani Akali Dal on Saturday accused its convener Arvind Kejriwal of indulging in political gimmicks to put a lid over the misgovernance of his Government in Delhi and pursuing a “political agenda” under the garb of visiting affected families in the state.
In a statement SAD General Secretary and MP Prem Singh Chandumajra questioned Delhi CM that Punjab had least percentage of drug addicts but the problem was more severe in AAP ruled Delhi state. He said instead of blaming Punjab, Kejriwal should mind his own State. “He should thank Punjab Government for its concerted efforts in seizing huge amounts of drugs coming in from Afghanistan and Pakistan before it could reach Delhi. But Kejriwal doesn’t have that courtesy,” Chandumajra said.
SAD leader said that recent study conducted by the social welfare department and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) have found that figure to be just 16,620 individuals (0.06%) out of 2.77-crore population instead, it’s Delhi colleges and schools that are full of drug addicts. “Whether it is lSD, ephedrine, cocaine, ketamine or ecstasy, party drugs are easily available in the Capital, as there is no separate narcotics unit and no effective mechanism to detect drugs against smuggling of narcotics into the Capital”, he added.
Dubbing Kejriwal a “liar” who only does “dramas” he asked the AAP leader to come clear about the commitments he made before the polls and later backed out and he did not visited his home state Haryana which has been adversely hit by the Jat stir. “That means he has no sympathy with the people of Haryana and touring Punjab is a drama on his part”, he added.
