PM Modi Launches Anti-Drug Drive, Says Narcotics Are Enemy Nations' Terror Tool

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan' (Drug-Free Youth Campaign), describing drugs as part of a terror plan by enemy nations to harm India's interests. Addressing the campaign's launch, Modi said more than one crore young people from various sectors, institutions and backgrounds have joined the initiative. He urged the youth to lead the movement, saying they have come together to fight the drug menace. The campaign aims to mobilise young Indians against substance abuse, which Modi linked to external forces seeking to destabilise the country. The prime minister's remarks underscore the government's focus on drug trafficking as a national security issue, not just a public health concern. The launch comes amid growing official attention on narcotics smuggling along India's borders. The 'Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan' is positioned as a youth-led effort to build awareness and pressure against drug use. Modi's appeal to young people to take the lead reflects the campaign's design as a grassroots movement rather than a top-down government programme. No further details about the campaign's activities or timeline were provided in the announcements. The initiative adds to existing government efforts to tackle drug abuse, which has been a recurring issue in several Indian states, especially in border regions. The prime minister's statement directly tied the drug trade to attempts by hostile nations to weaken India from within, framing the anti-drug campaign as part of broader national security strategy.
