New Delhi: Former Delhi High Court judge Rajinder Sachar led a civil society delegation to the Election Commission here Wednesday, seeking a ban on supply of liquor and drugs during the Punjab assembly elections campaign.

“We are neither supporting nor opposing any political party. We will oppose those supplying liquor and drugs during the campaign,” said Sachar.

“The commission officials assured that they are with us.

They have inspected the area and will try to stop the distribution of liquor there,” said Nayar.

Talking to reporters here, Sachar said the civil society and media should come forward to stop drugs supply.

A seven-day campaign will be started by the civil society in Amritsar in Punjab to spread awareness amongst voters that they should not support candidates who distribute liquor and drugs as an inducement, he said. (IANS)
