Looking Into Matter, But Won't Tolerate Injustice: Congress Chief On Sukhpal Khaira's Detention In Drugs Case

On Thursday, a team of Punjab Police officers raided Khaira's home in connection with an old case reported in 2015 under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in Jalalabad.

On the detention of Punjab Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira, Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday stated that he is currently seeking more details on the matter, and added that "if somebody does injustice, they don't stay for long," news agency ANI reported. Speaking with media, Kharge stated: "If they do injustice with us then we won't tolerate it. On Thursday, a team of Punjab Police officers raided Khaira's home in connection with an old case reported in 2015 under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in Jalalabad, Fazilka.

Earlier today, while slamming the detention of Khairia, Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring called the action taken by Punjab Police as a "jungle raj". "I condemn this arrest. This is jungle raj as there is nothing in the case. The Supreme Court has stayed the proceeding and quashed it. The notice regarding stay has been given to ED, then tell me what is remaining in this eight-year-old case," Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said.

He went on to say that Congress President Kharge contacted him first thing in the morning and asked us to campaign for Khaira.

The Punjab Congress President also turned to X (Formerly known as Twitter) to describe the arrest a tactic by the Punjab administration to divert attention away from the real concerns. "The recent arrest of Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira ji smacks of Political Vendetta, it is an attempt to intimidate the opposition and is a ploy of the Punjab government to distract from core issues. We stand strongly with Sukhpal Khaira and will take this fight to its logical conclusion," Warring stated on his official X handle. 

Partap Singh Bajwa, a Congress legislator, also attacked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Punjab government for detaining Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira. "Early in the morning at 6 am, Punjab Police arrested Khaira from his residence. My brothers the sad part is that the police did not have an arrest warrant," Bajwa said.
