‘Did order come from PMO?’: Kejriwal targets BJP over ‘zombie drug’ video claim linked to Punjab
AAP chief accuses BJP leaders of spreading ‘lies’ after Harbhajan Singh shared clip as Punjab; police said it was from Rajasthan
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday accused BJP MPs of spreading “lies” by claiming that a video showing people allegedly using drugs and being referred to as “zombies” was from Punjab.
In a post on X, Kejriwal said, “Many BJP people spread this lie together yesterday. Did the order come from the PMO? Does the PMO spread lies in the country?”
His remarks came after BJP MP Harbhajan Singh shared the video on X, writing, “The evil eye has struck, my friend, on our Punjab... The governments have ruined Punjab and its Punjabi youth… Where have they brought Punjab to? The Punjab that was once known for its rising fortunes, courage, and bravery--today, that same Punjab's youth is besieged by addictions. There's still time--save my Punjab. Save Punjab's youth.”
The Punjab Police subsequently fact-checked the BJP MP, saying the shared video purportedly originated from Rajasthan.
"The video being circulated is from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan--not Punjab--and has no connection with Punjab Police. A Punjabi audio track does not make an incident a Punjab incident,” the police said.
