CM has demoralised Punjab Police: Chugh

Chandigarh. June 24: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today demanded Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to clarify whether 10,000 Punjab Police personnel have been transferred because of their alleged links with drug mafias or "because they had helped the Congress in the recent Lok Sabha elections."

Demanding the chief minister's resignation on the matter, Chugh said it was highly "ïrresponsible" on the part of the CM for misleading Punjab on this serious matter.

Chugh said while DGP  Punjab police has contradicted the stance of the CM and has said that the transfers were done in a routine manner and have nothing to with the drug mafias. "Some political leaders have claimed that the transfers have been done because the 10,000-strong police force did not help the AAM Aadmi Party in the Lok Sabha elections and instead supported the other political parties," Chugh said.
