Drug mafia still an issue in Pb, AAP won't hesitate in naming those involved: Sisodia

Senior AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today said drug mafia is still an issue in Punjab and the party will not hesitate in naming those involved in it.

During the assembly elections last year, AAP had made drug trade a major poll issue.

To a question, Sisodia said, "Drug mafia is still an issue in Punjab... I am telling you that (illegal) mining is an issue, drug is an issue and the party is fighting against these issues."
Sisodia, who is also the party's Punjab affairs in-charge, said, "Our party is fighting against drug mafia. The stand of mine or Arvind Kejriwal on (SAD leader Bikram Singh) Majithia is not relevant. Rather the stand of the Amarinder Singh-led government on Majithia is relevant."
To a question on Sukhpal Khaira expressing disappointment over Kejriwal's apology to Majithia, Sisodia said, "It is the party's internal democracy and we respect everybody's viewpoint."
Asserting that the party had analyzed its weakness that led to its drubbing in assembly polls last year, Sisodia said, "We know what were our weaknesses and we have improved our party by analysing them."
Lauding the role of state leadership including the leader of opposition for playing an effective role of main opposition party in Punjab, he said, "Because AAP raised an issue, the Amarinder Singh government had to drop his one minister from the cabinet. The AAP, being in opposition, will raise every important issue in the state."
