Opium should be grown in Punjab: Sidhu supports making it legal
Calling for the legalisation of cultivation, sale and consumption of opium, Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu said, "Opium should be grown in Punjab." He added that opium is way better than 'chitta' (heroin). Supporting Aam Aadmi Party MP from Patiala Dharam Vira Gandhi's demand for legalising opium, Sidhu said, "My uncle used to get opium as medicine from hospital."
