Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has criticised the BJP for focusing anti‑drug efforts on Punjab, urging that the real battle should start at Gujarat’s Mundra Port.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the fight against drug trafficking should start at Gujarat’s Mundra Port, not Punjab, during a press briefing.
The comment follows the BJP’s emphasis on Punjab as a major drug smuggling hub, citing its proximity to the Golden Triangle. Kejriwal pointed out that Mundra Port, a major cargo gateway, is a key entry point for illicit drugs entering India.
Kejriwal urged authorities to focus on port and border security and criticised the BJP for what he described as a misplaced focus on Punjab.
The statement is part of an ongoing debate over India’s drug policy, with opposition leaders calling for a coordinated national strategy.
