Saying that sincerity is must in fight against drugs that have ravaged the society, killing the present generation and threatening the future generations, the Manipur Students’ Association Delhi MSAD urged the people to treat it as a “Public Enemy” and fight it unitedly.
Likening the menace of drugs to Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), MSAD, in a release, said that the time has come to fight the menace like other major issues which were fought by the people and several organisations in the interest of Manipur. They should take the responsibility to eradicate drugs from every direction like it did in the boundary issue, indeginous people issue, etc, it added.
The student body also said that like the security forces used to kill innocent people and abuse human rights, the menace of drugs is taking the lives of the youth in the state.
Maintaining that drugs are available freely in every nook and corner of the state and its effects have been felt by everyone, MSAD said that although a huge amount of drugs have been seized so far, punishing the drug smugglers is seldom seen.
It demanded the real culprits be punished and justice be delivered.
