Member of Parliament Raghav Chadha has been invited to participate in the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Executive Education Program, further solidifying his growing global recognition as a policymaker dedicated to governance, innovation, and public service.
New Delhi 28 November 2024: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha raised concerns about the growing Drug Crisis in Punjab in Rajya Sabha, questioning the government’s inadequate measures to address the issue.
In a written response, Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai replied to Chadha’s questions, but his answers were largely unsatisfactory. Rai stated that the central government had taken some steps to combat drug trafficking in Punjab, but failed to provide concrete evidence of their effectiveness.
Chadha emphasized that the Drug Crisis in Punjab is not just a law and order issue, but a social problem that requires a collective effort to resolve. He urged the government to treat the issue as a national mission and involve the entire society in the fight against drugs.
The MP also expressed concern about the impact of drug abuse on Punjab’s youth, stating that their future is at stake. He called upon the government to take concrete steps to address the issue and provide support to those affected by drug abuse.
Punjab faces a major challenge with drug abuse, as the menace claims the lives of many young people. Raghav Chadha’s efforts to raise awareness about the issue and push for concrete action from the government are a step in the right direction.
