00:00 The news is that the World Drug Report has found a poll of the Modi government's drugs

00:05 in the country's most affected countries.

00:07 Laik U Rehman will tell us about this.

00:10 Laik, tell us.

00:11 The World Drug Report has found that India is the biggest Asian market for the use of

00:18 smuggling and opium.

00:19 India is a victim of more than 5 crore Indian drugs.

00:22 This is what the Indian Narcotics Control Board has to say.

00:25 1 crore 10 lakh Indians are only a victim of opium.

00:30 90% of South Asia and 34% of the world's opium users are in India.

00:35 Children are also among the minority.

00:37 The report also says that most of the drugs are smuggled from Iran's Chabahar port to

00:42 the Mandra port in Gujarat.

00:44 On 15 September 2021, the Indian government smuggled 3 tonnes of drugs from Mandra to

00:49 Ahmedabad.

00:50 The Mandra port is controlled by the Gautam Adani Company, which is a close and important

00:55 financial partner of the Modi government.

00:57 The Modi government did not investigate the case.

01:00 Without the government's approval, such a big case cannot be cleared from the Mandra

01:05 port.

01:06 This is what the former Indian Minister of Treasury, Jatum Bram, has to say.

01:10 The report also says that Akshay Chabra and Sandeep Singh, who belong to the state of

01:15 Ludhiana, are world-class drug lords.

01:17 Research has also been done on various levels.

01:20 95% of the drugs smuggled in Bangladesh in 2019 came from India, according to this report.

01:27 Thank you very much.

01:29 Stay with us.

01:30 We have with us the retired Brigadier General, Waqar Hassan.

01:33 Waqar, drugs are being traded in India.

01:36 There is a lot of business going on.

01:38 Money is being used for various funding.

01:40 The poll for propaganda has also been opened.

01:42 The most important thing is that Modi's special agent, Gautam Udani, is also involved in this.

01:47 What will you comment on this, sir?

01:49 I think this is a very, very important report.

01:52 The UNODC controls the drugs every year.

01:57 If you look at some of the figures that you have already given, there is production of

02:02 500 tonnes of effodine in India, including illegal and legal.

02:07 If you look at the global market, this is a drug worth $20 billion.

02:13 It has routes.

02:15 It is sent to Afghanistan, maybe via Iran, then to Myanmar, then to South America, and then basically North America.

02:23 So I would say that Udani, which has a lot of ports, and the notable port is the Mundra port,

02:29 which is a very large port on the western seaboard.

02:33 It has a charge there. And he is also a bank roller of Modi.

02:37 He supports his election campaigns. He is one of the richest persons.

02:40 And most probably, I think, drug money is also used in this.

02:46 Udani is such a big empire.

02:49 Similarly, there is another one, the production of crystal meth.

02:53 One of the largest, detroxifene is a chemical that is used in drugs.

02:59 Then it comes to how big an issue it is within India.

03:02 As mentioned, 5 crore people are addicted to meth.

03:06 And out of the 10 children, the largest number in the world is in India.

03:09 So I think this is important that this is highlighted.

03:13 And the international forums of drug control, they should take action.

03:18 Because the drugs that are coming out of India are affecting generations of people all across the world.

03:24 And then in 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput, a big actor, died of drug overdose in Bollywood.

03:32 Then it was found that Bollywood itself has become a hub of narco use and narco smuggling.

03:38 So I think all told, the horrific face of India has come forward.

03:43 And there should be a detailed discussion on it.

03:45 Thank you very much, Mr. Waqar Hassan.
