“Things going out of hand,” Goa MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco condems cruise ship drugs incident

PANAJI: Curtorim, South Goa MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco reacting to the drugs bust on a Mumbai-Goa luxury cruise ship, Sunday said things are quickly going out of hand.

“This notion and culture that one can do whatever one wants in Goa has to stop. The luxury cruise ship was headed to Goa. The youngsters on whom drugs were found or who were consuming drugs were coming to Goa for a trip. We must stand up for Goa, to protect our State from this drug culture, particularly the BJP government which is encouraging this drug culture in our state or at the least turning a blind eye to it. We must protect the cultural fabric of our state at any cost,” Reginaldo said.

Which actor or Bollywood star’s son was doing drugs and was detained is not the point. This dangerous drug culture and the notion that anyone can come to Goa and do anything has to stop, he opined.
