VD Satheesan: LDF Government in Kerala Lacks Action Against Drug Mafia
He pointed out that the surge in drug abuse and related crimes has instilled fear in society. “Parents sending their children to educational institutions are living in anxiety. It’s reached a point where parents are genuinely concerned about the rampant drug use among students,” he added.
Highlighting the government’s lack of a strategy to trace drug origins, the Congress leader questioned the effectiveness of the police and excise departments if they are unable to tackle the drug crisis.
Satheesan accused the local drug mafia of receiving political support, particularly in regions like Alappuzha and Kollam, causing hesitation on the government’s part to act decisively. “I speak with conviction when I say this,” he noted.
Furthermore, he alleged that in colleges where the CPI-M’s student wing, the SFI, holds sway, members have been turning into drug dealers, as they have been implicated in several drug-related incidents.
Responding critically to state Excise Minister M B Rajesh’s assertion that ganja consumption has decreased in Kerala, Satheesan remarked, “The minister is correct. However, more individuals are now resorting to synthetic drugs instead.”
In a related development, the BJP has reached out to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging for central intervention to address the drug mafia issue in Kerala. N Hari, BJP Central Region President, has sent a letter to the Home Minister, calling for an investigation by central agencies to trace the drug mafia’s source, emphasizing the growing threat Kerala faces from these criminal elements.
