Amit Shah voices serious concern over breakdown of law and order in Punjab and rising drug smuggling. IN A post on X, Home minister Amit Shah said, “Punjab is grappling today with the rising threats of drugs, gangsterism, and organized crime. The biggest question before the Bhagwant Mann government is: ultimately, who will bear the responsibility for the safety of Punjab’s people? In Dirba, a father succumbing to pressure and consuming poison, and in Mansa, the broad-daylight murder of Parvinder Singh Jhotta—who had raised his voice against drugs—have raised serious questions about Punjab’s law and order situation. Parvinder’s father has leveled grave allegations against the ‘AAP’ government and their MLA. The Home Ministry will also seek responses from the Punjab government on both these incidents. In Punjab, the drug trade is growing day by day, the threat of organized crime is increasing, and questions are being raised about the protection of those who speak out against drugs. Bhagwant Mann ji, the people of Punjab do not want promises—they want answers; not announcements, but results; decisive strikes against drug networks; and an impartial investigation into any political patronage received by criminals. Today, I reiterate my resolve before the people of Punjab that, upon forming our government in Punjab, we will work with full force to create a drug-free, gangster-free, and secure Punjab. Our goal is clear—strikes against the drug trade, protection of our youth’s future, strict action against criminals, and a rule of law in which no citizen is forced to live under the shadow of fear.”
