Rahul Gandhi addressed a rally in Sangrur, calling drugs the biggest problem and referencing the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala.
Rahul Gandhi reached Sangrur in Punjab on Saturday to inaugurate an "Insaf Rally" aimed at mobilising voters ahead of the upcoming elections. The senior Congress leader took the stage amid a crowd of supporters and local party workers.
During his speech, Gandhi sharply criticised the incumbent government, asserting that the drug menace is the most pressing challenge confronting both the state and the nation. He urged the administration to take decisive action to curb the flow of narcotics and rehabilitate addicts.
