Navjot Sidhu threatens fast unto death if Punjab govt fails to make drug menace report public

Channi was also present on the stage.

The PCC chief, however, did not set a deadline for the government to fulfill the demand.

Addressing the event, Sidhu said, “Lakhs of mothers lost their sons to drugs. An elderly man told me that his grandson ruined his life due to drugs and said that I must get justice for such families…There is no court order which bars making the report public. Who stops you from making it public,” Sidhu asked.

“People need to know why the former CM kept sitting on this report. They should know why former home minister kept sleeping,” he added.

Sidhu also once again questioned the state government over the steps taken for ensuring justice in the sacrilege cases. “Sidhu is again seeking justice for sacrilege,” he said.

The STF report in question was submitted by in a sealed cover to the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Sidhu, on the past too had targeted the Congress government in state, demanding that the report be made public and a time-bound investigation be initiated to catch the “big fish responsible for narco-terrorism”.

“Hon’ble HC supplied a copy of STF report on drugs to the government. But instead of proceeding as per law, we are sitting on the STF report since February 2018. Even we have failed to extradite the other accused in this multi-crore drugs case. The solution is to catch and punish the big fish,” he had said.
