Warring seeks answers from BJP over smuggling of drugs into India Says, saffron party playing friendly match with its B-team in Punjab on drugs Asserts, buck stops at union Home Minister Amit Shah Chandigarh 17 September ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the centre over the smuggling of huge quantity of drugs into India, particularly through Punjab borders, saying that the buck stops at the union Home Minister Amit Shah, who controls the Border Security Force. Reacting to the proposed ‘yatra’ of the BJP against drugs in Punjab, Warring said, it is indeed a fact that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab has not only failed to curb the drugs, but has added to the problem. He said, the AAP has been a complete disaster in curbing the drugs. But, he added, the BJP government at the centre cannot escape the responsibility either.

Truth Buries the Hype: Bajwa Slams Mann’s ‘Operation Optics’
Chandigarh 28 June ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Leader of the Opposition and senior Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa has come down heavily on Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, accusing him of turning governance into a stage for theatrics, following the Punjab Police’s clean chit to AAP’s own MLA and former Health Minister Vijay Singla in a 2022 bribery case.“In 2022, CM Bhagwant Mann made a grand spectacle of sacking his own minister, Vijay Singla, claiming he was taking commissions,” said Bajwa. “He released a dramatic video, declaring, ‘No one else knows, I’m taking strict action!’—as though he was delivering a script, not leading a government.” Now, with the case closed, Bajwa has questioned the authenticity of Mann’s intentions. “What was this entire exercise then? Just a scripted drama to grab headlines? Did the CM used his own party colleague just to build a false narrative of zero-tolerance?” he asked. Notably, the former cabinet minister and AAP MLA from Guru Har Sahai, Fauja Singh Srari, and his PA, Bachittar Singh have also been given a clean chit by the SIT that was formed to probe a suicide committed by Jashan Bawa, an AAP worker and the sarpanch of Tarida village in Ferozepur. Bajwa said that the incidents reflected a dangerous trend under the AAP regime: prioritizing optics over truth and drama over due process. “The people of Punjab were sold a story, not governance. He further slammed Mann for creating a political circus to divert attention from the AAP government’s failures on unemployment, law and order, and drug abuse. “This isn’t governance. It’s political theatre. Punjab is not a movie set. Our people deserve real leadership, not daily soap performances,” Bajwa asserted.“Punjab deserves better. It’s time we stop mistaking dramatics for accountability,” he concluded.
