Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandi on Monday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over multiple drug hauls from Gujarat and asked for how long he would be silent on the matter. His attack came days after the Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai Police busted a mephedrone manufacturing unit in Gujarat and seized drugs worth Rs 1,026 crore.
3. गुजरात में ड्रग कार्टेल चला रहे ‘Narcos’ को NCB एवं अन्य सरकारी एजेंसियां अब तक क्यों नही पकड़ पायीं?
4. केंद्र और गुजरात की सरकार में बैठे वो कौन लोग हैं जो माफिया ‘मित्रों' को संरक्षण दे रहे हैं?
प्रधानमंत्री जी, कब तक मौन रहेंगे, जवाब तो देना ही पड़ेगा।

” ‘Ease of doing drug business’ in Gujarat? Mr Prime Minister, answer these questions. Drugs worth thousands of crores are reaching Gujarat. Who is spreading this poison in the holy land of Gandhi-Patel,” the former Congress chief said in a tweet in Hindi.
ગુજરાતમાં કરોડો રૂપિયાના ધમધમતા નશાના કાળા કારોબારને નાથવા 18001207840 પર મિસકોલ કરીએ અને આપણા ગુજરાતને બચાવીએ#BJPDrugDealers pic.twitter.com/qFi5wtn2aL

Posing a series of questions, he asked why the port owner had not been questioned so far despite drugs being recovered time and again.”Why are NCB and other government agencies still not able to nab ‘Narcos’ running drug cartels in Gujarat?” Gandhi said. “Narcos” is the title of a Netflix series on drug cartels in Colombia.
Who are the people sitting in the government of the Centre and in Gujarat who are giving protection to mafia ‘friends’, the Congress leader went on to ask.”Mr Prime Minister, for how long will you be silent, the answers will have to be given,” he said.
Reject Drugs, Reject BJP.

Gujarat Cong demands MoS Home’s resignation
The Gujarat unit of Congress on Monday demanded the resignation of Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi on moral grounds over the state emerging as a “hub of drugs”.
AICC’s social media and digital platform wing chairperson Supriya Shrinate, while addressing a press conference, said: “In the last five years drugs worth Rs 2.50 lakh crore have been seized from Gujarat as big ports have become landing points.” She questioned why the port owners are not being questioned?
She has further alleged that in just two to three months, the state police have seized drugs being manufactured in four industrial units. Since drugs worth thousands of crores of rupees have been seized in the state, it is the moral duty of the Minister of State Harsh Sanghavi to step down from his post. If he refuses, the Chief Minister should sack him. But instead of taking action, the Chief Minister has rewarded him with an additional portfolio.
The Congress has launched a campaign “Reject Drugs, Reject BJP”, and shared a toll free number (18001207840) to enable the public to inform about drug movement to the party.
