When militants use weapons to strike, casualties are inevitable and they create a sense of fear amongst people. However when drugs are used, an entire generation is lost. It is not about few homes getting affected, the whole social structure starts disintegrating which is exactly what we are witnessing in Punjab. Drugs are a bigger threat than guns and bombs and Pakistan has tried to destroy Punjab by pushing drugs into the state. The nabbing of a Pak smuggler, has given us enough proof of this. It is noteworthy that our security agencies are taking strict action against the drugs smugglers similar those taken against militants. It is the responsibility of the Punjab government and the state police to eradicate the problem from its roots otherwise the people of Punjab will never forgive them.
