No action against Majithia unless evidence: CM

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today said his government can take no action against Akali leader and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia unless there is any evidence against him in connection with an alleged multi-crore drug racket.
The government would not spare Majithia or anyone else proved to be guilty in drug trading in the state, Amarinder said, according to a statement released by his office.
Majithia was in 2014 quizzed by ED in connection with its probe into the alleged money laundering in a multi-crore international drug racket case.
The chief minister said several agencies were involved in the investigation of the alleged multi-crore drug racket case. "I have instructed the Punjab DGP to help and assist these agencies in the probe against Majithia, whenever sought," he said.

At least 40 Congress MLAs have been pressing Amarinder to arrest Majithia on the basis of investigation by ED in a drug racket case.
Amarinder's cabinet colleague Navjot Singh Sidhu has been vocal in the recent past, seeking Majithia's arrest.
Majithia was not available for comment.
