Why is the drug cartel flourishing under the noses of Narendra Modi and (Home Minister) Amit Shah?” He asked.
“Isn’t this pushing India’s youth into drug menace? Where are those drugs now? Isn’t this a violation of national security as they have come from and are linked to the Taliban and Afghanistan. Why the Adani Mundra port investigation? Wasn’t it?” He asked. The Congress leader alleged that Narcotics Control Bureau, DRI, Enforcement Directorate, CBI, Intelligence Bureau, Home Ministry and everyone else are sleeping.
