“It has been seen that more and more youth are falling prey to the drugs. We are committed to root out this menace once for all and a collective approach has been launched by the police in this regard,” the DGP said.
Dilbag said Pakistan’s internal situation is very bad at this juncture and the country should focus on their own situation rather than pushing in terrorists into this side.”
On the arrest of some journalists in Kashmir for terror-links, the DGP said that in the society, law is for one and all.
“Some journalists were found involved in terror related activities and law has taken its own course. Law is same for all,” the DGP said, adding that “nobody will be spared”.
