Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, questioned PM Modi last week about the length of his silence about several narcotics seizures from Gujarat. 

Digital Desk: Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Executive of the AAP and the
mayor of Delhi, poked fun at the BJP-led Gujarat government on Sunday regarding
drug smuggling in the state. Kejriwal posted on Twitter, quoting a story about
the Punjab police recovering a significant amount of heroin "Who is
smuggling drugs into Gujarat on such a vast scale? Who is the proprietor of
this company? Consider how frequently you must be leaving without being
discovered. Is such a large-scale drug trade even conceivable without the
complicity of powerful individuals? You are engulfing the nation's youth in
darkness."

In particular,
DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav reported that the Punjab police found 38 kg of heroin
hidden in the toolbox of a truck travelling from Gujarat and detained two
people. The two people detained were described as Balachaur residents Bittu and
Kulwinder Ram, also known as Kinda, a truck driver.

According to a
statement from the police, "the drug smuggler known as Rajesh Kumar, along
with his henchmen Som Nath Bikko, Kulwinder Kinda, and Bittu, is engaged in the
business of supplying large quantities of heroin in different areas of Punjab
by bringing the drug from other states through the truck."

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress,
questioned PM Modi last week about the length of his silence about several
narcotics seizures from Gujarat. Days prior to his confession, the Mumbai
Police Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) raided a Gujarati mephedrone production
facility and confiscated drugs worth Rs. 1,026 crores.

The Congress leader raised a series of
questions, including why the port owner had not yet been questioned despite the
fact that drugs had been found on numerous occasions.

He questioned, "How come the NCB and
other government organizations are still unable to capture 'Narcos' controlling
drug gangs in Gujarat?
