Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jairam Thakur criticized the state's Congress government for filing an FIR against members of a women's group in Laghat village who were patrolling to curb drug use. The FIR was lodged after the women allegedly detained and roughed up three youths suspected of drug peddling, though no contraband was found. Thakur called the action 'shameful' and demanded the cases be withdrawn, highlighting the BJP's protest against the perceived rise in drug menace.
