"Chronology": Congress Dig Cites Gujarat Drug Haul After Centre's BSF Move
NDTV
The drugs haul jibe comes after a Home Ministry order last night that said BSF jurisdiction in Punjab will now include all areas within 50 km of the international border
Congress leader Randeep Surjewala on Thursday slammed the centre over its "unilateral" decision to increase Border Security Force jurisdiction in party-ruled (and poll-bound) Punjab, and claimed it was meant to deflect attention from the movement of heroin through Gujarat's Adani Port this year. The Chronology-• 25,000 Kgs of Heroin Drugs came through Adani Port, Gujarat on 9/6/2021.• 3,000 Kgs of Heroin Drugs caught at Adani Port, Gujarat on 13/9/2021.• BSF jurisdiction unilaterally increased from 15 Kms to 50 Kms in Punjab.Federalism Dead, Conspiracy Clear.
Mr Surjewala's pointed tweet claimed a "chronology", referring first to two drug consignments - a 25,000 kg shipment that reportedly passed through the Adani Port in June and a 3,000 kg (valued at Rs 20,000 crore) shipment captured at the same port in September.
