Sidhu said that despite High Court's directions, both these government has done nothing to extradite the 13 smugglers back to India who peddled drugs to Punjab and smuggled drugs to some other countries.
"These accused not only roamed in the VIP vehicles of Majithia under security cover but they also used to reside with him. Money exchange with Amritsar-based businessman Jagjit Singh Chahal and statements of wrestler-turned-cop Bhola and Majithia's former election agent Maninder Singh alias Bittu Aulakh are strong proofs of Majithia's involvement in the case What are we hiding? Why no transparency? Why is this delay," Sidhu questioned.
"It is the cause of saving Punjab's future generations from the clutches of drugs, all eyes are on the High Court to save them as people are Punjab are eagerly waiting for STF report to be unsealed," said Sidhu giving a clarion call to the people of Punjab to wipe out drugs from the holy land of Gurus and Peers.
