Punjab media in-charge Baltej Pannu slammed the BJP's 'Nasha Mukt Yatra' as a political stunt, demanding clarity on measures to curb drug entry into the state.
The BJP's recently launched 'Nasha Mukt Yatra' (Drug-Free Journey) across Punjab has drawn sharp criticism from Baltej Pannu, the state's media in-charge. Pannu called the campaign a mere political stunt and urged the party to explain what concrete steps it is taking to curb drug trafficking into Punjab.
Pannu's remarks came after the BJP announced the tour, which aims to raise awareness about drug abuse and showcase the party's anti‑drug stance. He questioned the party's sincerity, demanding specific policies and enforcement measures.
No official response from BJP representatives has been reported yet, leaving the party's stance on the issue unclear.
The criticism could influence public perception of the BJP's anti‑drug campaign as the state prepares for upcoming elections.
