Punjab: Mann hits back at Capt over remarks on Majithia's arrest
'You are concerned about the human rights of drug smugglers...,' Mann said in a post on X and also questioned ex-CM's on his 2017 poll promise of eradicating the drug menace within four weeks.
CM Mann was reacting to BJP leader's allegations that the AAP government 'believes that cheap sensationalism, political vendetta, and ruthless repression are substitutes for governance.'
'Punjab has never seen such a blatant assault on democracy where critics of their misrule and corruption are being house-arrested, falsely charged, and silenced,' Amarinder alleged in a Facebook post. Amarinder left the Congress in 2021 to float his party, and a year later, merged it with the BJP.
'The targeted harassment of Bikram Singh Majithia is a shocking example of their inhuman tactics. I strongly condemn this political persecution. Mass protests are being crushed, dissent is being muzzled, and Punjab is being remotely controlled from Delhi like a mafia operation,' Singh further added in his post.
Mann hit back and in his post on X said that the former CM failed to act against drug smugglers despite taking an oath.
'Captain Sahib (Amarinder Singh), today you are concerned about the human rights of drug smugglers. Now Punjab has come to know that you all are double-faced, but, unfortunately, after losing a lot. The BJP will now dismiss your statement by calling it personal...,' he said.
The CM further stated that it is ironic that several leaders, including former CM Charanjit Singh Channi, Ravneet Bittu, Partap Singh Bajwa, and Sukhpal Singh Khaira, are opposing action against a 'drug smuggler'.
'All these leaders of being hand in glove with drug smugglers,' Mann alleged, daring the Congress and the BJP to clarify their stance on the issue of drugs.
On June 25, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Majithia in a case of alleged disproportionate assets. Majithia is in judicial custody till August 2.

Facing farmers' flak, Punjab govt scraps land pooling policy
CHANDIGARH: In the face of mounting criticism from farmers' groups and dissent within AAP ranks, Punjab government Monday withdrew its controversial Land Pooling Policy, 2025. The development comes four days after Punjab and Haryana high court stayed the policy, flagging several concerns, including absence of a rehabilitation policy for landless farm labourers, lack of impact assessment studies on society and environment, and the fact that fertile land was shortlisted for pooling. It may affect the social milieu, high court had said Thursday. On Monday, thousands of farmers held motorcycle rallies across the state to protest the land-pooling bid. In the evening, department of housing and urban development issued a short press note: "government hereby withdraws the Land Pooling Policy, 2025, and its subsequent amendments. Consequently, all actions like LOIs issued, registrations done or any other action taken thereunder shall be reversed henceforth. " It is learnt AAP's top leadership grew increasingly concerned the policy could be politically damaging and undermine govt's other achievements over the past three years. Several AAP functionaries had resigned over the issue, and dissent within the ranks was growing louder. Less than three weeks ago CM Bhagwant Mann assert that farmers would not suffer any losses and that they "actually like the policy as it would transform them into stakeholders in govt's development schemes". "The policy was introduced in the interest of farmers. AAP always stands with farmers. If farmers do not like this policy, why should we impose it? Therefore, respecting the voice of farmers we are withdrawing this policy," AAP spokesman Neel Garg posted on X.
