Kishoreganj-2 Member of Parliament Jalal Uddin described drugs as a grave curse for society, family, and the state, emphasizing that drugs are forbidden in the Quran and equally prohibited for BNP leaders and activists. He made these remarks on Friday night at an anti-drug awareness meeting held at Mugdia Bazar in Masua Union of Katiadi upazila.

The MP announced that new legislation is being prepared in parliament to strengthen control over drugs and gambling. The proposed law would include a minimum two-year prison sentence for drug-related offenses and discussions are underway to deny bail until verdicts are delivered. He also suggested identifying drug users and traders through dope tests and bringing them under legal action, stressing that no political party should tolerate involvement in drug activities.

Jalal Uddin called for a collective effort by political parties, public representatives, administration, and citizens to build a drug-free society. He urged parents to be more attentive to their children and warned that drugs destroy families, increase crime, and ruin youth futures.
