Rahul to protest today against drug menace in Punjab

June 13, 2016 10:02

Meanwhile, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will lead a protest in Punjab's Jalandhar city on Monday against the drug menace in the state.

Gandhi, who will be accompanied by members of the Congress' Punjab unit, is also expected to highlight the alleged deterioration in the law and order situation in the state.

"Will join the mass protest in Jalandhar on Monday, 13th June, to highlight rampant drug abuse and collapse of law & order in Punjab," Gandhi's office tweeted earlier on June 10.

The Aam Aadmi Party has dubbed Gandhi's protest against drugs as ridiculous and alleged that the Congress was adopting double standards as the grand party had failed to initiate any action on the same when the matter was brought to the notice of former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
