October 20, 2026

Chandigarh: Punjab Cabinet Minister Aman Arora welcomed Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Punjab on Tuesday. However, he raised four questions related to drug trafficking and border security, demanding answers from the central government.

Aman Arora stated that Amit Shah will meet families affected by drug abuse during his visit. He urged the central government to seriously address the drug problem and related issues in Punjab.

Arora said, “Union Home Minister Amit Shah is coming to Punjab today. He will meet families affected by drug abuse. The Punjab government welcomes Amit Shah to Punjab.”

Aman Arora raises questions about border security and 3,000 kg of heroin

Aman Arora posed four questions to Amit Shah, asking why the central government has failed to secure the 543-kilometer-long international border between Punjab and Pakistan.

He also raised questions about the arrival of 3,000 kilograms of heroin at the Mundra Port in Gujarat and its subsequent distribution across the country.

Arora asked, “Why is the central government failing to secure the 543-kilometer-long international border between Punjab and Pakistan? Why does 3,000 kilograms of heroin arrive at the Mundra Port in Gujarat and then be spread across the country?”

He also raised questions about the problem of synthetic heroin, or “Chitta,” in Punjab and the rise of gangster culture between 2007 and 2017, when the BJP-Akali Dal coalition was in power.

Arora said, “Chitta arrived in Punjab and gangster culture flourished between 2007 and 2017. The BJP-Akali Dal coalition was in power at that time. If the issue of gangsters and drug abuse falls under the purview of law and order, what is the situation in BJP-ruled states?”

Demand for investigation into the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff

Aman Arora also mentioned the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. He alleged that the shooters involved in the incident were from Haryana.

He demanded that Amit Shah order an investigation into the matter, saying that the truth should be revealed to the nation.

Arora said, “Shots were fired in the case involving Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. The shooters were from Haryana. Haryana has become a nursery for gangsters in the country. Amit Shah should order an investigation into this case as well, so that the truth can be revealed to the nation.”

Decision to hand over the investigation of the Parvinder Jhota murder case to the CBI

Speaking on the murder case of Parvinder Singh Jhota in Mansa, Aman Arora said that the state government has consistently stood with the victim’s family. He stated that based on the family’s demand, the decision has been made to hand over the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Arora said, “The government has consistently stood with the family of Parvinder Jhota in Mansa. Based on the family’s demand, we have decided to hand over the investigation to the CBI. No one will be allowed to sell drugs in Punjab, and strict action will be taken against those who do so.”

Assured strict action on allegations of drug sales

Asked about a video that went viral on social media, which allegedly showed narcotic pills being sold at a barber shop, Arora said the matter had not yet come to the government’s attention.

He said that if the allegations were found to be true, strict action would be taken. He also appealed to the people of Punjab to report anyone selling such drugs without a prescription.

Arora said, “This matter has not yet come to our attention. If it is true, strict action will be taken. I appeal to the people of Punjab to inform the police if anyone sells such drugs without a prescription.”

Questions also raised on Sunil Jakhar’s claim

Aman Arora also questioned BJP leader Sunil Jakhar’s claim that drugs are not entering Punjab through the international border.

Arora said, “If Sunil Jakhar claims that drugs are not coming through the international border, then it is also possible that the drugs are coming from Gujarat.”

Notably, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will meet the families of those who recently lost their lives after raising their voices against drug trafficking in Punjab’s Mansa, Sangrur, and Gurdaspur districts on October 20.
