Mr. Bajwa said that all state and national highways and
rail traffic would be blocked on January 16. The PPCC leaders would meet the
President of India on January 10 to apprise them of involvement of SAD
ministers in the drug racket. He said that this was not simply a drug racket;
it has implications of national security since chain of drug traffickers is
linked to drug mafia in foreign countries. "The conduct of Mr. Majithia
and other guilty ministers amount to sedition", he stated.
He said that Congress party had time and again raised hue and cry that drug mafia was being patronized by Mr. Majithia. He said that since Mr. Majithia's sister Harsimrat Kaur MP from Bathinda is married to Deputy Chief Minister Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal, the Badal family is desperately trying to save Mr. Majithia.
Mr. Bajwa questioned the silence of BJP an alliance partner with Shiromani Akali Dal(SAD) on the issue of Mr. Majithia's direct involvement in the drug case. He said that BJP leaders were hand in glove with SAD leaders and they have become puppets in the hand of Badal family. He said that BJP had failed to play its role of responsible partner on every issue including imposing of heavy taxes on urban people.
Mr. Bajwa said that Congress party would meet the Punjab Governor on January 9 and submit a memorandum in this regard. All the frontal organizations of Congress i.e. Mahila Congress, Youth Akali Dal and National Students Union would also hold protest dharnas. He said that national level Congress leaders would also participate in the Dharna. He said that protest would continue all over the state to force Chief Minister to order CBI inquiry.
