After AAP was elected to power in Punjab, the Government has undertaken a drive against corruption. Under this drive, even the former health minister Vijay Singla was dismissed and arrested for corruption charges. Sadhu Singh Dharmasot, a minister in the then Congress Government, was also arrested in a corruption case.

Editorial viewpoint

If the number of arrested corrupt officers is so high, it is difficult to even think of the number of corrupt officers who have not been arrested ! It is a sign of complete chaos in governmental corruption !
