Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has stirred up a storm with his recent allegations in the Delhi Assembly, claiming that Gujarat has become the epicentre of India's drug trade. Kejriwal's speech, which has gone viral on social media, directly targets Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
In his speech, Kejriwal presented a damning indictment of the Gujarat government, alleging that a significant portion of the drugs seized in India originated from the state. He cited several instances of large drug seizures in Gujarat and Delhi, linking them to a network operating out of the state. Kejriwal also pointed out that a significant percentage of the drugs seized during the Lok Sabha elections originated from Gujarat.
'Drugs are being sold at every nook and corner. Delhi has been turned into a hub for drug trafficking. While Delhi doesn't manufacture these drugs, a substantial amount of drugs seized here originated from Gujarat,' Kejriwal said.
He further alleged that there are factories operating in Gujarat that manufacture and process drugs, and that the state's ports, especially Mundra Port, are being used to smuggle drugs into the country. Kejriwal also raised questions about the role of Adani Group, which controls Mundra Port, in this alleged drug smuggling network.
Kejriwal directly challenged Amit Shah, saying, 'The responsibility of controlling drug trafficking in the country lies with the Home Minister. If Gujarat, under his watch, has become the drug capital of India, then people will question his role.'
The AAP leader's allegations have sparked a political firestorm. While Kejriwal has accused the BJP-led Gujarat government of turning a blind eye to the drug trade, the opposition has countered by accusing the AAP government of shielding drug traffickers.
