Punjab’s Drug War Turns Political as Mann Targets Majithia in High-Stakes Crackdown

Punjab News: Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has intensified the fight against drugs in Punjab, raising direct questions on those who held power earlier. He said drug suppliers were protected, while common families suffered. The youth of Punjab lost opportunities and many families lost their sons. Mann claimed that drug networks grew under political shelter. He also said those days are over now. The government stands firm that the guilty will not escape. The campaign has created strong debate across the state.

Why The Name ‘Chitta’ Became Symbolic?

During a public rally, Mann responded sharply to claims that the word ‘Chitta’ was not used during previous governments. He said the problem existed, only the name was different. He alleged that the drug trade had strong backing and was openly protected. According to him, the roots of the issue run deep in political connections. His remarks have turned into a central talking point in political circles. Supporters say Mann is speaking what people already knew. Opponents call it political drama.

Majithia Case Sparks Statewide Attention

The Vigilance Bureau has arrested senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia in a major financial probe. He is accused of laundering around ₹540 crore linked to drug networks. Another case involves assets beyond known income. Reports say his assets are around 1200% more than declared. This has caused shockwaves across the political spectrum. The government says action is based on evidence. The opposition claims it is revenge politics.

Public Reaction Divided But Strong

Some people welcome the crackdown, saying it was overdue and necessary. Families affected by addiction feel hopeful that real action is finally happening. Many believe the drug menace ruined an entire generation. Others however fear political instability. The public debate reflects deep anger mixed with expectations. Punjab has seen drug issues for years, but big names were rarely touched. The present steps have changed the tone of public discussion. People are watching very closely what happens next.

Promise Of ‘Rangla Punjab’ Repeated Again

Mann has promised that Punjab will rise again and recover from the damage. His government claims to be working on both enforcement and awareness. Rehabilitation programs are being expanded in several districts. Youth employment schemes are being promoted. The message is that drug dealers will face strict punishment. The government insists that no influence, no wealth, and no name can stop action now. The vision is to build a healthy and prosperous Punjab.

Opposition Calls It Political Targeting

Akali Dal and Congress have accused the government of misusing law agencies. They say the drug problem did not start with one person. They argue that Mann is trying to hide governance failures through high drama. Some leaders call the raids ‘political revenge’. Mann rejects these claims directly. He says the opposition fears exposure and wants to stop the campaign. The conflict continues to rise on political stages and television debates.

Punjab’s Future Depends On Youth Safety

Drug addiction remains one of the most sensitive issues in Punjab. The direction of current action could decide the future of thousands of families. Schools, colleges, and villages are looking for strong change. The government says it will not slow down the campaign. Social organizations are being encouraged to support de-addiction. The public is hopeful yet cautious. The real success will be seen only when the ground reality improves and youth find new hope.
