Stressing that Punjab was fighting the “nation’s war” against drug menace, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said on Sunday that the state was being “belittled by some inimical forces.” “Punjab has a glorious track record of fighting for safeguarding unity and integrity of the country and now also it was fighting nation’s war against drug menace due to which the state has been belittled by some inimical forces,” he said here. The Chief Minister said that Punjab falls on the transit route of drug coming from across the border to be supplied in the entire country. However, the Punjabis were shielding the country from this curse by keeping a strict check on drug peddling due to which some of the forces wary of peace and prosperity of the state has tarnished its image “by labeling them as drug addicts,” Badal said. He said it was unfortunate that Punjab was “once again suffering for the cause of the country” and despite that the government has made all out efforts to stamp out the drug menace of drugs from Punjab.
