A day after the Punjab government made dope test mandatory for government employees, AAP MLA Aman Arora today challenged Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to take the test and set an example for his ministers and party lawmakers.

"I expected that being first citizen of the state, he should have set example by coming forward first for the dope test. Then, his ministers and MLAs would have followed," Arora, the legislator from Sunam who underwent a dope test at Mohali civil hospital said.

"I am also one of 117 MLAs of Punjab and I considered it my moral responsibility to go for the test," he said.

Earlier in the day, Arora in a tweet had said, "Though I'm not agnst (against) this order, but let's b (be) honest @capt_amarinder ji, it has been the Politicians who had patronised Drug Mafia. Instead of these orders, as head of the State, U (you) should have taken the first step. Nevertheless I got my DOPE TEST done today.When r (are) U getting it done Sir?"
