Addressing the issue following the filing of a more than 40,000-page chargesheet against Bikram Singh Majithia, the leaders said the investigation had brought ₹736 crore in drug money and financial transactions under scrutiny. They asserted that the people of Punjab would reject the politics of drugs, intimidation and collusion.

Reacting sharply to the BJP's reported political overtures, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal pointed out the BJP is trying to undermine Punjab's fight against drugs and warned that Punjabis would never allow the state to be pushed back into the drug crisis.
