Law and Order in Punjab Has Completely Collapsed; AAP Government Taking False Credit for Extradition of Criminals: Kewal Singh Dhillon

Gangster interviews from inside jails, murders of activists on the streets: Dhillon corners Mann government

‘Give answers, not false credit’: Punjab BJP President seeks accountability from AAP dispensation

Chandigarh, November 9-Under the rule of the Aam Aadmi Party, the law-and-order situation in Punjab has completely collapsed, and the state government is making shameless attempts to conceal this grim reality.

Punjab BJP State President Kewal Singh Dhillon stated that the international extradition and arrest of fugitives and gangsters hiding abroad is executed through the proactive coordination of the Ministry of External Affairs, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Interpol, and central security networks.

He remarked that it is laughably absurd that the Punjab Finance Minister is beating drums to claim party credit for actions carried out by central agencies and Indian diplomatic missions, while deliberately turning a blind eye to the horrifying ground reality in Punjab. He noted that the Finance Minister rattled off a lengthy list of crimes committed by these gangsters, which includes the murder of a 12-year-old child and elected public representatives. The AAP government and the Home Minister—a portfolio held by the Chief Minister himself—are entirely responsible for this. The AAP government has completely failed to protect innocent lives and must be held accountable.

Citing the tragic murder of anti-drug crusader Parvinder Singh Jhota in Mansa, Punjab BJP President Dhillon stated that nothing exposes the alleged complicity of the AAP government more than the fact that those who fight against drugs are gunned down in broad daylight while the administration remains a mute spectator.

Kewal Singh Dhillon asked: "In the AAP government’s ‘Badlav’, drug cartels, gangsters, and extortionists operate with complete impunity, while anti-drug warriors like Parvinder Jhota have to pay with their lives. It took a 26-day protest and an autopsy at PGIMER Chandigarh just to get an anti-drug activist cremated. During this, his grieving, elderly father Bapu Bhim Singh was forced to sit on a hunger strike outside the hospital demanding basic action against police officials allegedly in collusion with peddlers. If the government is truly acting against crime, why was an activist murdered on Facebook Live while exposing the illicit sale of narcotics?"

The BJP President further pointed out that under the present AAP regime, Punjab's jails have turned into five-star operational headquarters for extortionists and gang bosses, from where they run criminal syndicates and even grant media interviews from behind bars.

The BJP demanded that instead of deflecting blame onto others and orchestrating scripted press conferences to take false credit, the AAP government must answer to the people of Punjab why traders, doctors, and ordinary citizens are living under constant terror, and why it has given free rein to the drug-gangster nexus to suffocate the state.

"Sonia Gandhi Felt Pain Over Babri Masjid’s Demolition, But Why Did She Feel No Agony Over the Desecration of Sri Akal Takht Sahib and the 1984 Delhi Sikh Massacre?": Ashwani Sharma

Chandigarh, November 9, 2026: Former Punjab BJP State President Ashwani Sharma today questioned the political and ideological posture of the Congress party, citing Sonia Gandhi’s expression of emotional distress in her memoir over the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

Sharma stated that while respecting the religious sentiments of every community is a collective duty, a fundamental question arises: if Sonia Gandhi felt such profound grief over the demolition of the Babri Masjid, why was identical sensitivity never shown toward Shri Ram Janmabhoomi—the centuries-old symbol of faith and devotion for hundreds of millions of Hindus?

Taking the attack further, Sharma asked why Sonia Gandhi never felt similar anguish when the supreme temporal seat of the Sikhs, Sri Akal Takht Sahib, was brought down during the Congress regime, or when thousands of innocent Sikhs were brutally butchered across Delhi and the country in the state-sponsored massacre of 1984.

Ashwani Sharma remarked that a glaring contradiction is evident in the disproportionate reverence the Nehru-Gandhi family accords to symbols associated with the legacy of Babur on the one hand, and its hostile attitude toward the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement on the other.

He stressed that this issue is not about opposing any religion or community; rather, it exposes the Congress party's political double standards and its practice of selective secularism. Sharma asserted that the Congress leadership must explain why it has consistently had reservations about according equal respect to the religious, civilizational, and historical sentiments of Hindu society.

Concluding his statement, Ashwani Sharma emphasized that Bhagwan Shri Ram is an integral, inseparable part of the faith, culture, and civilizational identity of crores of Indians, and devotion to His birthplace must be treated with the utmost reverence.

‘Chitta’ Allegedly Being Sold Just 200 Metres from MLA’s Office: Anil Sarin

Ludhiana, November 9:Punjab BJP State General Secretary Anil Sarin has cornered the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government after the alleged sale of ‘chitta’ (heroin) came to light barely 200 metres from the office of Ludhiana East MLA Daljit Singh Grewal Bhola.

He said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP leaders have been making tall claims about making Punjab drug-free, but a newspaper’s sting operation has raised serious questions about the reality behind these claims. When ‘chitta’ is allegedly being offered for sale so close to an MLA’s office, with youngsters claiming that drugs can be procured within minutes, the situation in the rest of the city and the state can easily be gauged.

Anil Sarin questioned, “If the government’s anti-drug campaign is so effective, how is this alleged drug trade operating in such close proximity to the MLA’s office? Are
the local police and administration unaware of it, or are they deliberately turning a blind eye?”

He demanded an impartial investigation into the matter, strict action after identifying the alleged drug traffickers, and called upon the government to demonstrate concrete action against drugs on the ground instead of relying solely on advertisements and statements.
