On question dope test for every politician, he said that taking a dope test is a personal decision of every one and there is no harm in going for the test.
When asked about the involvement of state police in drugs trade, Capt Amarinder said that’s why government has decided on dope test for all employees including police administration. He also said dope test is must for all employees and will be done in two parts. First before a person is recruited and then at the time of promotion.

Interacting with noted Punjabi comedians Jaswinder Bhalla, Karamjit Anmol and Bal Mukund Sharma, the Chief Minister asked them to use their popularity with people to bring about the much-needed change on this count.
On the other hand, opposition MLA Kanwar Sandhu declared the dope test as a ‘jumla’ of the Congress Party. He claimed that is a political stunt of the government for diverting the attention from the real issues.
