Jalandhar: AAP on Thursday demanded CBI probe into the alleged involvement of Punjab Cabinet Minister Bikram Majithia in a drug racket case and urged for his removal.

Addressing a press conference here, AAP`s National Working Committee member Himanshu Pathak and Jalandhar district executive member, Kamaldeep Singh alleged that Majithia was given a clean chit by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal without any inquiry.

Both the leaders also blamed SAD`s alliance partner BJP for keeping mum over the issue and demanded them to clear their stand over Majithia.

Jagadish Singh Bhola, an alleged drug racket kingpin, had accused Majithia of involvement in drug racket.

Majithia had rejected Bhola`s charge saying it was a "wild allegation" from a known criminal.
On a query, Pathak said AAP was not going for any alliance with Congress in Punjab for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
