Sat Sharma, while addressing on the occasion, said that the Modi government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against drugs and is working extensively to save the youth from the destructive trap of narcotics. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has repeatedly emphasized that the youth are the nation’s greatest strength and every effort must be made to channelize their energy towards nation-building.

Referring to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s resolve for a “Drug-Free India”, Sat Sharma said that the Modi Government is committed to eradicating the menace of narcotics in the same determined manner in which the country is moving towards freedom from Naxalism. He added that the drug menace is not merely a law-and-order issue, but a social challenge that requires collective participation from families, educational institutions, social organizations, and political workers.

Sat Sharma appreciated the dedicated efforts of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha-led administration, Jammu and Kashmir Police, security forces, and civil administration for carrying out aggressive campaigns and successful operations against drug networks across Jammu and Kashmir. He called upon the youth to stay away from drugs and actively participate in sports, education, entrepreneurship, and constructive social activities. He said that BJP workers are committed to taking the message of “Nasha Mukt Bharat” to every locality and household across Jammu and Kashmir.

Baldev Singh Billawaria said that the increasing awareness among people, especially parents and youth, is a positive sign in the fight against drugs. He asserted that BJP workers will continue organizing public outreach programmes and awareness campaigns to strengthen the mission of a drug-free society. He also urged the administration to continue strict action against drug peddlers and anti-social elements attempting to destroy the younger generation.

Vikram Randhawa said that drug abuse has emerged as a serious threat to society and every responsible citizen must contribute towards eliminating this evil. He stressed that awareness at the grassroots level is essential and appreciated the Transport Cell and Sainik Colony Welfare Association for organizing the rally and mobilizing public participation on such an important issue.
