Kanoon Ki Dastak
Jammu, March 21: AAP MLA Mehraj Malik sparked controversy in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly by stating that only intoxication leading to domestic abuse should be banned, while suggesting that if intoxication motivates a person to work for a good cause, it should not be considered wrong.
His remarks have drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders and social activists, who argue that substance abuse cannot be selectively justified. Many have questioned the logic behind determining intoxication’s acceptability based on its perceived impact.
The statement has ignited a debate on substance regulation in J&K, with calls for a clear and comprehensive policy to address the issue.
