Reacting sharply to the statement of Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi that seven out of 10 youth in Punjab are drug addicts, Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab Sukbir Badal termed him a joker' on Friday.
Rahul was addressing a public rally during his day-long visit to the state on Sunday.
"I would like to know on what basis he arrived at this mathematical equation. Did he get the information from some authentic source? We certainly did not provide him with any information," the junior Badal told

Principal Secretary in the Badal government T R Sarangal, who is in-charge of social welfare, that if there were 10 people working in his
office and they are young he would not know which ones are drug addicts and which one's were not.
