AAP blames Punjab ruling alliance for drug menace

Chandigarh: Punjab has become a drug haven due to the connivance of corrupt SAD-BJP ruling coalition, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Col C M Lakhanpal (retd) said. Earlier, Shiromani Akali Dal leaders were for being blamed for the drug mafia but the recent arrests have "proved" that BJP leaders were equally part of this menace, Lakhanpal said. Punjab's youth is getting destroyed due to the "highly criminal and nefarious activities of these so called leaders", he alleged. "It is the greatest misfortune of the state that those who were supposed to be caretakers have become the devils themselves who are devouring an entire generation of Punjabis for their insatiable greed," he said.
