Ludhiana, May 7, 2024: Ravneet Bittu, BJP candidate from Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat today said that huge recoveries of drugs, drones, and arms by Border Security Force(BSF) at the international border (LOC) with Pakistan in the recent past has raised the eyebrows and indicated that drug abuse is on the rise in border state of Punjab. Only the BJP Govt under the leadership of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah can plug this cross-border terrorism saving the sensitive state of Punjab and thus our future generations.
Bittu in a statement said that notwithstanding the claims by the Bhagwant Mann government that the drug menace was under control, the consumption of drugs is on rise.
He said that more drugs were being pushed from Pakistan due to more demand in Punjab. He said that the AAP government had failed to control drug abuse in the state.
He added that BSF was effectively monitoring drug smuggling whereas Punjab police were working under political pressure to let the drug trade flourish in the state.
Bittu said that only yesterday BSF troops seized 2.996 Kg of heroin and downed 7 drones sent from across the border. He said that the spike in the number of catching drones was a success of BSF.
He said that BSF has made the revelation that they have been making the highest recovery of drones and narcotics and arresting smugglers more than ever before. He lauded the role of BSF. He said that effective monitoring of the border had become possible due to an increase in BSF control up to 50 km inside the international border.
