Is.Kerala in the grip of #DrugMafia?
The recent raids like 'Operation Toofan' and the drug cases registered in Kerala are shocking evidence of how deeply rooted the drug mafia is in the state.
The discovery that drug agents, even disguised as delivery boys, are roaming freely in our school premises and public places is extremely alarming. Even though the government claims to be taking strong steps to eradicate this scourge that has turned an entire generation into drug addicts, the failure of the system that has allowed drug networks to grow so much is evident here.
The failure of the intelligence systems, which were unable to prevent it in advance even though the mafia gangs were roaming in disguise right in front of the eyes of the law enforcers, is condemnable. While such social disasters are engulfing the state, the indifference and corruption of the previous rulers have added to this decline.
Kerala is witnessing a spectacle of people sitting on their laurels who were supposed to protect the lives and property of the people . Those who were in the power centers have provided shelter to drug mafias and criminals and have joined hands with anti-people forces to fill their own pockets.
It is extremely unfortunate and a challenge to democratic values that the former rulers, who indulged in corruption and loot worth crores and have darkened the future of the state's young generation, do not feel any shame or guilt even after many.being arrested in so many cases.
