Alleging that illicit liquor trade was “flourishing” in Gujarat under the protection of “ruling forces,” the Congress on Friday demanded a probe by a sitting High Court judge into the death of over 40 people due to consumption of spurious liquor earlier this week.
Taking to Twitter, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Consumption of spurious liquor has ruined many households in the ‘dry State’ of Gujarat. Drugs worth billions are being recovered regularly from there. It is a matter of great shame that in the land of Bapu and Sardar Patel, who are these people engaged in the indiscriminate selling of intoxicants? Which ruling forces are giving protection to these mafia?”
