My uncle used opium as medicine, better than chitta: Sidhu
Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu has called for legalisation of cultivation, sale and consumption of opium, saying, "My uncle used to get opium as medicine from hospital. It is way better than 'chitta' (heroin)." Singh, who made the remarks at an event in the presence of police chief Suresh Arora, blamed SAD's Bikram Singh Majithia for introducing heroin in Punjab.
