Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini accused the Congress and AAP of failing to deliver on promises regarding Punjab's drug crisis, calling their actions inadequate.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini took to the podium to criticize the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for their handling of the drug crisis that has plagued Punjab for years. He said that the promises made by the parties to curb drug trafficking and provide rehabilitation services have not materialized, leaving the state in a precarious position.
Saini demanded that the central and state governments take immediate action to address the surge in drug-related crimes, urging both parties to honour their commitments. He warned that continued inaction would further erode public trust and exacerbate the crisis.
The remarks come amid growing concerns over Punjab's deteriorating drug situation, with reports of increased drug use and trafficking across the border. While no official response from Congress or AAP was noted in the immediate aftermath, the CM’s statements underscore the urgency of inter‑state cooperation to tackle the problem.
