Under Punjab’s ‘AAPda regime’, those raising voices against drug menace not safe, says Amit Shah; meets Parvinder Singh Jhota’s family

Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Punjab on Tuesday (October 20, 2026) for a day-long visit to Gurdaspur, Sangrur, and Mansa. During his visit, he met with the family members of individuals who died while opposing the drug menace in the state. Specifically, after meeting the family of Parvinder Singh Jhota, who had raised his voice against drug cartels, Shah criticized the AAP regime in Punjab, stating that those who fight against such threats are not safe under the current administration. There are growing demands for a CBI probe into these incidents.
