Chandigarh, Jun 16 (UNI) Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar today said it is imperative to "follow the money’ to track down the powerful end beneficiaries in the drug money trail if the state government wants to establish its credibility and resolve to uproot the drug mafia.
In a letter to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the state BJP chief urged him to seek the intervention of the honorable Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Sheel Nagu for setting up an appropriate 'time-bound' probe by a credible agency, or even a multi-agency probe, under the supervision of the Chief Justice to uncover the end beneficiaries in the drug money trail.
“Arresting thousands of drug addicts and small players won’t make any difference to root out the drug menace. The flow of money has to be established to catch the big fish and arrest the end beneficiaries, be it politicians across party lines or officials. Without this, the government’s claim of its fight against drugs in Punjab remains a farce,” Jakhar said.
