"Questions will arise about the PM and the Home Minister's conspicuous silence because this is not a new issue," a Congress spokesperson said.
Questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah's silence over the seizure of a huge cache of drugs from Gujarat's Pipavav port, the Congress on Saturday asked why was their state turning into an "epicentre of drug cartels".
In a joint operation, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) recovered nearly 90 kg of heroin worth Rs 450 crore from a shipping container that arrived at the Pipavav port from Iran.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate asked what was the government doing and how were drug mafias and cartels "invading" the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel.
"Questions will arise on why is the youth in this country obliviously being driven towards drugs. Questions will arise about the Prime Minister and the Home Minister's conspicuous silence because this is not a new issue," she said.
