Panaji: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday asserted that the Narendra Modi government will eradicate the menace of drugs just like it had eliminated the scourge of Naxalism from the country.
The five decade-old problem of Naxalism has now become a thing of the past, Shah said referring to the relentless campaign mounted by security forces against Left Wing Extremism over the past few years. It had led to the outlawed movement's top leadership being wiped out and hundreds of ultras surrendering, resulting in the government declaring the country Naxalism-free on March 31 this year.
