Congress wants to take youth to dark world of drugs: Amit Shah on Delhi drug bust

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday accused the Congress of leading the nation’s youth into the “dark world of drugs” following a recent drug bust in Delhi involving a consignment worth Rs 5,000 crore.
Tushar Goyal, the main accused, was arrested following the recovery of more than 500 kg of cocaine and 40 kg of hydroponic marijuana worth over Rs 5,600 crore in a raid conducted in south Delhi on Wednesday.
The Congress has denied any links with Tushar Goyal, the alleged kingpin behind Delhi’s biggest drug bust.
Amit Shah, in a post on X, claimed that while the Modi government is committed to a “zero tolerance” policy on drugs and is working to guide the youth towards education, sports, and innovation, Congress is allegedly using its political influence to enable drug trafficking.
“While the Modi government is adopting a zero-tolerance policy for a ‘Drug-Free India,’ the involvement of a prominent Congress leader in the Rs 5,600 crore drug consignment seized from North India is extremely dangerous and shameful,” Shah posted.
He highlighted the impact of drugs on the youth in states like Punjab and Haryana during the Congress regime, contrasting it with the Modi government’s efforts to steer the youth towards sports, education, and innovation. He further accused Congress of attempting to drag the youth back into “the dark world of drugs.”
“The sin of Congress leaders using their political influence to push the youth into the quagmire of drugs will never be allowed to succeed by the Modi government,” Shah stated, adding that the government is committed to dismantling the entire drug network, regardless of the political standing of those involved.
While the Congress has denied any link with Tushar Goyal, the latter reportedly admitted during questioning that he previously served as the chairman of the RTI cell for Delhi Pradesh Congress until 2022.
Investigators also discovered that Goyal had a social media profile where he listed his title as RTI Cell Chairman, Delhi Pradesh Congress.
Goyal, who used the alias “Dikki Goyal” on social media, posted photos with several prominent Congress leaders, including Lok Sabha MP Deepender Singh Hooda and Haryana unit chief Uday Bhan.
