Opposition leader Anurag Dhanda has accused the Haryana government of failing to curb drug trafficking and alleged that a police personnel faced threats for attempting to act against narcotics networks. His remarks have intensified political debate over law and order in Haryana.
Anurag Dhanda Allegations against state administration
In a public statement, Dhanda questioned whether the state was being run by Chief Minister Nayab Saini or by drug traffickers. He claimed that a police officer who tried to stop illegal drug activities was threatened and allegedly warned by senior officials that he could be implicated in false cases.
Claims of pressure on police personnel
According to Dhanda, the situation is serious if a serving police official feels compelled to voice grievances on social media. He argued that such circumstances indicate systemic pressure within the law-enforcement structure and suggest that illicit drug networks may be operating without fear.
Political reaction and controversy
The allegations have triggered sharp political reactions, with opposition leaders demanding accountability from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party administration. They have called for an independent inquiry into the claims and protection for officers acting against narcotics trafficking.
Government response awaited
As of now, there has been no detailed official response from state authorities regarding the specific accusations. Observers note that the issue could become a major political flashpoint if further evidence or statements emerge.
Drug trafficking and law-enforcement integrity are sensitive public issues, particularly in northern states where narcotics smuggling routes have historically posed challenges. Allegations involving pressure on police officials often draw public attention because they raise concerns about governance, institutional independence and citizen safety.
Haryana has conducted multiple anti-narcotics drives in recent years, with state agencies claiming periodic seizures of banned substances and arrests of alleged traffickers. Officials have previously stated that inter-state coordination and intelligence sharing have been strengthened to dismantle supply chains, particularly those linked to organized smuggling networks.
