Addressing the public gathering outside the Court complex, Kejriwal reiterated his views over prevalence of drugs in Punjab. He said that the drugs were being traded in streets and schools of Punjab and the Revenue Minister Bikram Majithia was kingpin of the trade.

“Bikram Majithia should arrest me within 6 months, otherwise, his arrest in drug mafia is unavoidable after AAP comes into power,” Kejriwal said.

On being contacted by Sikh24, Majithia claimed that Kejriwal would be behind bars soon. Terming the allegations levelled by Kejriwal as challenge for the whole Punjabi community, Majithia said that the masses of Punjab ought to oppose Kejriwal for labelling Punjabis as drug addicted people.
