Punjab Cabinet Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu today sought arrest of Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia, accusing him of having links with drug peddlers while claiming that he had findings of a Special Task Force's report.

Yesterday, the Punjab government in the Punjab and Haryana High Court had said that two member panel would examine the STF report.

"STF has made it clear that there is a substantial evidence of the role of Bikram Majithia in drug peddling which needs to be probed. Punjab government cannot ignore these facts," Sidhu told reporters here today.

When asked why the government was not taking decision then, Sidhu replied, "our government will take a decision. It is our government which set up the STF."
