Bhaskar Knowledge drug connection with terrorism
Question: What is narco-terrorism?
Answer: When the money earned by selling drugs is used to spread terror, buy weapons and carry out terrorist activities, it is called narco-terrorism.
Question: Why does Pakistan’s name come up in spreading drugs?
Answer: Smuggling of heroin and other drugs from Pakistan border in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir is a big challenge. Drugs are sent through drones and cross-border networks. However, there is no official data as to the share of Pakistan in the total drugs coming to India.
Question: How does terrorism benefit from drugs?
Answer: With the money received from selling drugs, terrorist organizations buy weapons, add new people and run their networks. Therefore the government also considers it an issue of national security.
Question: Why is India the target of smugglers?
Answer: India is located between the world’s two largest illicit drugs production areas, the Golden Crescent (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran) and the Golden Triangle (Myanmar, Laos, Thailand).
Taking advantage of this geographical location, smugglers try to use India as both a transit route and a major market for drugs to reach other countries. This is the reason why India remains the target of drug smuggling networks.
