➖ ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatras’ Will Build a People’s Movement Against Drugs: Kewal Singh Dhillon

➖ BJP Resolves to Make Punjab Drug-Free, Appeals to People to Join the Campaign

Chandigarh, September 15:Punjab BJP President Kewal Singh Dhillon today reviewed the arrangements for the ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatras’ being organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party at Fatehgarh Sahib and Talwandi Sabo.

At Fatehgarh Sahib, he was accompanied by BJP National General Secretary and Punjab in-charge Dr. Satish Poonia. The two leaders inspected the arrangements for the rally to be held at the Old Grain Market before the commencement of the yatra. Thereafter, they held a meeting with party leaders and workers to review the preparations.

Similarly, at Talwandi Sabo, Kewal Singh Dhillon inspected the rally venue at the Grain Market and held a meeting with party workers to take stock of the arrangements being made for the yatra.

On the occasion, Kewal Singh Dhillon said that drugs have become the biggest problem in Punjab today. He said that the Aam Aadmi Party had claimed before coming to power that it would eradicate drugs within three months, but contrary to that promise, the drug problem in the state has become even more serious. He said the growing spread of drugs has severely affected Punjab’s younger generation and has also led to an increase in gangsterism and law-and-order challenges.

He said that the BJP has resolved to make Punjab drug-free, under which four ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatras’ will be taken out across different parts of the state. Through these yatras, people will be mobilised to join the campaign and widespread awareness will be created about the harmful effects of drugs.

Kewal Singh Dhillon said that these yatras would prove to be an important step towards building a strong people’s movement against drugs. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resolved to make the country drug-free, and the same resolve would be pursued with determination in Punjab as well.

He said that the yatras would commence after offering prayers at Gurdwara Jyoti Saroop Sahib in Fatehgarh Sahib and Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo.

In conclusion, he appealed to the people of Punjab to participate wholeheartedly in the campaign against drugs and support the BJP in realising the vision of a ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab’.

➖Punjab Government Must Immediately Revoke Davinder Mehra’s Suspension: Anil Sareen

➖No Appeal, No Hearing—Direct Suspension; Government’s Authoritarian Approach

Chandigarh September 15-The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strongly condemned the suspension of Davinder Mehra, a Junior Engineer with Powercom posted in Patiala.

In a statement, BJP Punjab State General Secretary Anil Sareen demanded that the Punjab government immediately withdraw the suspension order against Davinder Mehra and order an impartial inquiry into the matter.

Anil Sareen said that Davinder Mehra was suspended merely for allegedly commenting on a social media post of the Chief Minister, while employees have claimed that the comment was not made by Mehra but was AI-generated. Despite this, the government neither heard an appeal nor considered his side of the matter and instead issued what he described as a direct and authoritarian order.

Anil Sareen said that before taking any action against a government employee, the facts of the entire matter and the concerned employee’s version must be carefully considered. Even if an employee has committed a mistake, the matter should be investigated in accordance with the rules and law. Taking action without establishing the complete facts creates a sense of distrust among employees.

He said that commenting on a Chief Minister’s social media post does not, in itself, constitute a crime. Employees and their supporters have also been running social media campaigns over their demands and have been unfollowing the Chief Minister. Perhaps this has caused the government to become rattled, leading it to take action against employees without any sound basis.

Anil Sareen said that such action amounts to a gross violation of freedom of expression, and the Bharatiya Janata Party strongly condemns it.
