#WATCH# | Bathinda, Punjab: On Sangrur youth Jagga Singh consuming poison outside DC office, BJP MP Tarun Chugh says, "In every street, every market, every neighborhood, and every village, 'chitta' is being sold. 'Chitta' is being sold like lollipops. If anyone speaks up, they are tortured, beaten, harassed, and forced to commit suicide. All these incidents show that today the whistleblowers—those who are standing up and telling the government that 'Chitta' is being sold here—are the ones who are currently the biggest targets. I want to ask Bhagwant Mann: action is being taken against the informants, so why isn't the government doing anything against those against whom the information is coming in and those who are selling drugs? Today, Punjab is facing drugs, gangsters, extortion, and murders happening daily. Someone threw grenades at police stations. Police personnel are being targeted, killed in uniform, and their photos are being put up, or videos are being made and sent. Today in Punjab, law and order has reached its limits, and we condemn it in the strongest terms..."

#WATCH# | Delhi: On Sangrur youth Jagga Singh consuming poison outside DC office, BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia says, "BJP has taken up the mission to make Punjab drug-free. Just a few days ago, National President of the BJP, Nitin Nabin, visited the sacred land of Punjab to launch the 'Drug-Free Punjab Yatra' (campaign). This journey will cover all 117 assembly constituencies to ensure the eradication of the menace where 'surya st Bhagwant Chitta Mast.' It is with great anguish that I speak of our brother, Jagga Singh, a resident of Punjab. When Jagga Singh raised the issue of drugs, action was taken against him. Who was harassed? Who was threatened? Who was beaten? Our Punjabi brother, Jagga Singh. What was his crime? His only fault was complaining that the drug trade was flourishing in Sangrur and demanding strict action... Just a few days ago, another Punjabi brother of ours, Gulzar Singh, raised the drug issue in a similar manner. He named a minister in your government, Harpal Singh Cheema, and recorded a video—which serves as a dying declaration—before committing suicide by consuming poison.
