Kangana Ranaut’s Drug Smuggling Claims Ignite Political Row Between Punjab and Himachal

A heated political debate has erupted between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh following controversial remarks made by BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut. Ranaut alleged that the escalating drug problem in Himachal Pradesh is a direct result of drug smuggling from Pakistan, routed through Punjab.

Himachal’s Drug Problem: A Cross-Border Issue?

Ranaut’s comments have stirred significant controversy, placing the spotlight on the sensitive issue of drug trafficking and addiction. Her claim suggests a complex cross-border network facilitating the flow of drugs from Pakistan into India, with Punjab serving as a transit point. The implications of this claim have drawn strong reactions from political parties on both sides.

AAP Responds to Ranaut’s Allegations

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has sharply criticized Ranaut’s remarks, questioning the basis of her claims and characterizing them as politically motivated. The party has called for evidence to substantiate the allegations and condemned what they perceive as an attempt to defame Punjab.
