Chandigarh, April 24: The Punjab Congress today demanded immediate dismissal of two Cabinet Ministers Ajit Singh Kohar and Gulzar Singh Ranike and Chief Parliamentary Secretary Virsa Singh Valtoha following the disclosure of their alleged involvement and that of three other leaders in smuggling racket followed by a high level inquiry by a sitting judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. In a statement issued here today, party General Secretary and member of the campaign committee Rajanbir Singh said these allegations coming from former Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) Shashi Kant just could not be rejected off hand as he had claimed that he had submitted the list of smugglers and those patronising them to Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal . He said the issue at stake was not that Kant had political ambitions or the timing of his revelations as earlier also, he had raised this issue, particularly in relations to smuggling of drugs into jails in the state which also was a widespread racket. Rajanbir said earlier, drug smuggler and former cop Jagdish Bhola had named revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia and now two more ministers and a CPS apart from two other MLAs and a political leaders had been named in this racket. He said this is one government whose three ministers were under a cloud after their names having beenb surfaced in smuggling. These allegations were being levelled against the political leaders for a long time now. He said the Chief Minister must order a high level inquiry to bring out the truth and punish the guilty, to whichever party he belonged. He said addiction had spread like epidemic in the during the last few years and what was at stake was the future of Punjab as those hooked to drugs was the younger generation. He said in case this situation was allowed to continue, it would ruin Punjab within no time. Rajanbir stressed that none should be allowed to play with the future of Punjab. Apart from the easy availability of drugs, what had compounded the situation was the high incidence of unemployment. What was needed was a multipronged strategy to wean away the youth from this menace and engage them in productive process. He said the state government just could not shift the blame for smuggling as what was being consumed by the addicts in Punjab were mainly the synthetic drugs manufactured within the state and not smuggled from across the border. It was mainly heroine which was coming from Pakistan and as such, what was required was strong preventive steps.
