CHANDIGARH – PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu took to Twitter on Monday, questioning his government and the Punjab Police on the action taken over the STF report on drug trafficking submitted by ADGP Hapreet Sidhu before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Govt must move a plea for preponing the opening of sealed reports to take the case to a logical conclusion and punish the guilty. — Navjot Singh Sidhu, PCC Chief
Without naming anyone, Sidhu in a series of tweets said: “Punishing culprits behind drug trade is Congress’s priority under 18-point agenda. What is the action taken on Majithia? While the government seeks extradition of NRIs linked to the same case. If further delayed, will bring resolution in Vidhan Sabha for making the reports public.”
In February 2018, the STF headed by ADGP Sidhu had filed a “status report” in the High Court. “I held a press conference, asking the government to immediately act upon the information shared by the STF with court, after investigating incriminating evidence produced before the court by the ED,” he said, adding the court had asked the Punjab Government to proceed as per law on the STF report.
On May 23, 2018, the government filed before court opinion-cum-status report, which still awaits the light of day, in a sealed envelope. Sidhu said no order had been passed by the court in two and a half years on that matter that impacted the lives of Punjab’s youth.
