For the last few days the Punjab government has been vigorously running its campaign against drugs, and a petition filed in the High Court by an NGO challenging these efforts has led the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to level serious allegations against the Congress.

Senior AAP leader and MP Malvinder Singh Kang accused the Congress party of trying to use the courts to halt the Punjab government's anti-drug campaign. He said that the organization 'People Welfare Society,' which filed the petition against the government’s actions targeting drug smugglers, is run by staunch Congress supporters.

Kang showed the media old photos of the NGO operators Kanwar Rajinder Singh and Kanwar Pal Singh with Rahul Gandhi and then-Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, highlighting their longstanding ties with the Congress party.
