Even as the recent speech of Ferozepur SSP Sandeep Goel on drug menace and involvement of cops caused embarrassment to the state, Congress Kapurthala MLA Rana Gurjeet Singh today endorsed the officer, saying, “it was a practical and straight talk by him”.

On the sidelines of a function held on the shifting of Kapurthala DC office to a new location yesterday, Rana Gurjeet Singh said, “The SSP has said only what he was confronting daily. Now, that he has attempted to make the society aware about the disease, he has also started making attempts to treat it. You have already seen that the process to identify and punish black sheep has already started in the Police Department.”

The ex-minister, however, added, “It is not for the first time that a problem has erupted in the system. We cannot blame the Capt Amarinder government for this.”

Later when asked about his statement, Rana Gurjeet Singh said, “I have not said anything wrong. I stand by the Ferozepur SSP as he has not only criticised the police, but only admitted to the shortcomings, which he wants to rectify. I commend such daring officials.”

Rana maintained, “The SSP’s statement has not caused any embarrassment to the government. It has only made the corrupt police officials worried. The credit for the same goes to this SSP because of whom the clean-up exercise has begun in a big way. No police officer ever did the kind of marking in staff which he has started. I think all other SSPs must emulate Goel.”

" He has attempted to make society aware about the disease (drugs). He has also started making attempts to treat it. The process to identify and punish black sheep has started in the Police Dept." — Rana Gurjeet
