Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said the AAP‑led Delhi administration is allowing drug traffickers to operate freely while speaking at a gathering in Punjab.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami addressed a public meeting in Punjab on Thursday, using the platform to criticize the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi. He alleged that the Delhi administration is providing a free hand to drug peddlers, thereby compromising public safety.
Dhami’s remarks came amid growing concerns over drug-related incidents across several northern states. He urged the central and state authorities to take stricter action against narcotics networks and called for coordinated efforts to curb the menace.
The CM did not provide specific data or name any individuals, but emphasized that unchecked drug trade undermines the rule of law. His comments have sparked a political debate, with opposition parties likely to echo the criticism of the AAP government.
The meeting, attended by local party workers and supporters, concluded without any official response from the Delhi government. Observers note that such statements could influence upcoming electoral narratives in the region.
