Digital Desk, Busted. Political rhetoric has once again intensified regarding the drug issue in Punjab. This time the reason for controversy is a video that has gone viral on social media. BJP Rajya Sabha MP and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, while sharing the video, expressed concern about the problem of drug addiction among the youth in Punjab. After this, Punjab Government Minister Dr. Baljeet Kaur hit back at Harbhajan Singh by raising questions on the location of the video.

Actually, in the viral video, two youths are seen lying on the roadside in an unconscious state. This video is being shared on social media linking it to drug addiction. While sharing the video, Harbhajan Singh said that Punjab and its youth deserve a better future. He stressed the need for honesty, accountability and immediate action to deal with the drug problem.
After Harbhajan Singh's post, allegations and counter-allegations started in Punjab politics. Cabinet Minister Dr. Baljeet Kaur claimed that the video which is being presented as being from Punjab is not from Punjab but from Sriganganagar in Rajasthan. He alleged that BJP leaders are trying to tarnish the image of Punjab for political gains.
However, one important thing about the video is that independent confirmation of the two youths seen in it being drunk has not yet emerged. In such a situation, it would not be appropriate to reach any final conclusion based only on the viral video.
