Rahul must explain conduct of Dr Singh & Capt singh against drug menace in Punjab : AAP

Chandigarh, Jun 11 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party today lambasted Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for shielding former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and former Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh for their failure to act against the spread and growth of drug menace in Punjab.
"While Manmohan Singh maintained a stony silence even after being informed by former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) S Y Quraishi about the enormity of drug menace in Punjab during the 2012 assembly polls in the state, Capt Singh chose to side with Akali Cabinet Minister Bikram Singh Majithia by opposing the CBI probe," AAP MP Bhagwant Mann said in a statement here.
He said it was startling to know that the Ex-CEC had written a two-page letter to then prime minister Manmohan Singh lamenting the staggering scale of drugs seized during the election campaign in Punjab in 2012. Mr Quraishi had also informed Dr Singh that "every conceivable drug is being abused in Punjab".
