The Governor in the letter said he has got reports from various agencies about availability and use of narcotics, and how it has become common that they are allegedly available in pharmacies and even in government-controlled liquor stores.


    Punjab AAP Bhagwant Mann's government has been warned by Governor of President's rule

New Delhi: The Governor's warning that he would support the President's rule in response to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's failure to react to official correspondence caused friction between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab and the Governor, which has since gotten worse.

Governor Banwarilal Purohit issued a warning to Mr. Mann today, stating that if his letters go unanswered, he may recommend President's control in the state and initiate criminal proceedings.

Invoking Article 356 places a state under the direct rule of the center, typically following the Governor's submission of a report.

The Punjab Governor highlighted concerns about drug trafficking in the border state and questioned Mr. Mann about the measures taken by his government in his letters.

In the letter, the governor claimed to have received complaints from numerous authorities regarding the availability and use of narcotics, as well as how commonplace it has supposedly become for them to be sold in pharmacies and even government-run liquor stores.

One in five persons in Punjab are drug addicts, according to a recent report by the parliamentary standing committee, which the governor cited.

In his most recent letter to Mann, Governor Purohit expressed his frustration at not receiving a response to his prior letter and threatened to send a report to the President on the "failure of constitutional mechanism."

Purohit gave Mann the advice to take action before to making this "final decision" in accordance with Article 356 of the Constitution and Section 124 of the Indian Penal Code.

With the use of Article 356, a state is placed directly under the control of the Centre, typically following the Governor's submission of a report. The IPC section deals with physically harming or improperly preventing the President or a governor from using their legitimate authority.

"Before I make a final judgment about using Article 356 of the Indian Constitution to send a report to the President of India regarding the breakdown of the constitutional framework, and before I decide whether to start criminal investigations under Section 124 of the IPC, 

The Governor wrote in the letter, "I ask you to send me the necessary information sought after under my letters referred to above, as well as in the matter of the steps taken by you concerning the problem of drugs in the State. If you fail to do so, I will be forced to take action in accordance with law and the Constitution.

AAP leader Malvinder Singh Kang responded to the governor's admonition by telling the news outlet ANI that the governor should maintain decorum.

According to the Indian Constitution, elected officials have more power. Mr. Kang claimed that the governor had threatened and warned about imposing President's Rule and spoken about the BJP's objective.

"I want to inform the governor that Manipur, not Haryana, is the proper place to implement the President's Rule, not here. The Punjab government is operating within the bounds of the constitution. The AAP leader claimed that the governor only had one agenda: advancing the BJP's goal of upsetting the non-BJP State governments.

The governor is accused of interfering with the operations of other opposition-ruled states like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
