Congress Leader Caught Consuming Heroin in Batala Exposes Party’s Real Face: Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal

CHANDIGARH(The Uttam Hindu) :

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab on Friday hit out at the Congress after Congress leader Gurkirat Singh alias Kalu was reportedly caught consuming heroin in Batala and booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Responding to the development, AAP Punjab Chief spokesperson and MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said the incident has exposed the Congress party at a time when Punjab is fighting a decisive battle against drugs.

On this, AAP Punjab Chief Spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said, “Gurkirat Kalu is known as a close associate of senior Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, and photographs of the two have also surfaced. Congress leaders keep giving lectures on everything, but their own people are being caught with drugs. This exposes the real face of Congress.”

The AAP Punjab Chief Spokesperson stated that while Congress attempts to question others, its own leaders are repeatedly coming under the scanner in drug-related cases, raising serious questions about the party’s internal accountability.

Reiterating the Punjab Government’s zero-tolerance policy against narcotics, Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal said, “The AAP government has launched a strict war against drugs and no one will be spared. Whether big or small, whoever sells drugs or consumes drugs will face action. The law will take its course.”

AAP Punjab said the Congress must answer why leaders holding important positions in its organisation are repeatedly being linked to drugs and demanded accountability from the party leadership, asserting that the people of Punjab deserve clarity and responsibility from those seeking public trust.
