Speakers at the workshop said that drugs are leading the country to destruction.
The country has strict laws against drugs. But it is not possible to prevent drugs by enforcing this law. We have to build a drug free country through social movement.
Therefore, all the imams of all the mosques, including the people's representatives, should unite in all the meetings and gatherings and keep the young society away from drugs.
Then it will be possible to build a drug free society and country.
