“Narco-virus is as deadly as the covid, it is a silent killer “: Dr Darakhshan Andrabi

Srinagar : Bharatiya Janata Party Spokesperson & Chairperson of Waqf Development Committee of Ministry of Minority Affairs, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi has expressed her pleasure on the initiatives of J&K Police to fight the illicit Narco-trade in J&K. She has requested the government to devise and enforce a multi-pronged strategy to fight this well-devised ploy framed and operated to destabilize the social fabric of J&K.
“Narco-war is not new in Kashmir. The illegal trafficking of drugs started in 1990 itself. From across the border, this menace penetrated into our society. Now an alarming number of young people are drug addicts here in J&K. The society has not resisted this onslaught and now we all are paying huge prices,” said Dr. Darakhshan.
She said that she wanted all ‘banner holders in Kashmir to open their lips on the deadly ‘Narco-Virus’ which has paralyzed our young generation here. “Covering the facts has now created a blasting situation. The Rights activists, civil society megaphones are silent. They all have failed in playing their role in raising their voices against the imposed drug threat to our society,” said BJP Spokesperson.
She said that for decades, we allowed free cultivation of Poppy in many parts of Kashmir for the drug use of the crop. “This illegal cultivation had political support from the political rulers of J&K and the separatists too. Now we are reaping the fruits of disaster,” said Dr Andrabi.
She said that the Narco-Virus was as deadly as the Covid. “It is a silent killer. Increased heart attacks among youth are related by medicos to this drug menace.  This menace has paralyzed our young generation. I appeal to the government to chalk out a plan to hammer the epicenters of the Narco-trade in J&K and I also appeal to the well-meaning influential social entities to extend their help in the war against the Narco-trade in the Union Territory,” said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi
