Chandigarh, February 18: Paramjit Singh Kainth, State Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata Party Scheduled Caste Morcha Punjab, has strongly condemned the alleged misuse of Punjab's administrative machinery during the anti-drug rally organized by the Aam Aadmi Party-led Bhagwant Mann government in Moga.
Kainth said that the visible presence and participation of senior government officials and police administration on a political platform raises serious questions about the constitutional principle of bureaucratic impartiality. He clarified that civil servants are committed to serving the Constitution and the people of Punjab, not to becoming instruments of propaganda or partisan gain for any political party.
Expressing concern, Kainth said, "The participation of senior officials in politically charged events violates established civil service conduct rules and undermines the dignity and credibility of public office."
He further stated that despite repeated claims and numerous campaigns by the Mann government, Punjab has failed to disrupt the drug supply chain at both rural and urban levels. He alleged that action has largely been limited to small-scale criminals, while larger smugglers and organized networks often escape accountability.
Kanth warned that any attempt to create an atmosphere of fear or pressure through the administrative machinery is extremely dangerous for democracy. He said, "When the police and administration appear to be biased in favor of the ruling party, public trust is eroded and institutions are weakened, which directly benefits criminal networks."
