Government has failed in curbing drug menace, say protesters.
Police used tear fuel and water canon on Tuesday to disperse the agitating staff and leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) – youth wing of the BJP – in Chandigarh, as they marched to ‘gherao’ the official residence of Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in opposition to alleged ‘failure’ of the Congress authorities in curbing drug menace.
Led by State BJYM chief Bhanu Pratap Rana, the activists began their march from the parade floor at sector 17 elevating slogans in opposition to the federal government, accusing it of failing to rein within the drug menace. As protesters marched in direction of the Chief Minister’s residence, they have been stopped on the barricades by the police. The police mentioned tear fuel and water cannons have been used after the protesters tried to break the barricades. Many of them have been detained and launched later.
Mr. Rana mentioned the unlawful drug commerce was flourishing beneath the Congress regime and the youth have been on the receiving finish.
“In the run up to the Assembly election 2017, Amarinder Singh had promised the people to eradicate the menace within four weeks of assuming power. However, it’s been nearly four and half years that the Congress has been in power and yet the illegal drug trade and drug menace continues unabated,” alleged Mr. Rana.
Hitting out on the Congress, Mr. Rana mentioned the State authorities has failed to ship its guarantees made throughout the 2017 Assembly polls and the individuals have misplaced religion within the authorities.
