Punjab Congress chief and Lok Sabha member Amrinder Singh Raja Warring today targeted the AAP government over the recent arrest of the CIA staff at Phagwara for allegedly accepting bribe to release a drug smuggler. He claimed this was the state of affairs in many police stations across the state.

Taking a swipe at the government over its claim of making Punjab drug-free by May 31, Warring said the Phagwara case indicated that such statements were meant only for publicity.

Warring said people called the Punjab Government “mashoorian wali sarkar” which believed in “working less and publicising more”. He said AAP concentrated on publicity more than development at the ground level.

Referring to the arrest of MLA Raman Arora after a raid at his house by the Vigilance in Jalandhar, Warring alleged people were aware of ruling party leaders being allegedly involved in corruption, but the government floated such “pre-scripted stories” to divert people’s attention from its failures.

He said it was a misfortune that some Central and state government leaders were tearing apart the Constitution, in whose name they all took oath and got placed in the cabinets.
