"The ISI and terrorists have exploited the drug nexus that exists on either side of the border. Superintendant of Police Salwinder Singh's role is suspect. He could also be an innocent victim, but there are too many unanswered questions. This nexus has been there for quite some time. The BSF, the Punjab Police and the Punjab politicians are all involved in the drug trade. There is no difference left between the infiltration of terrorists and smugglers.
