Quotes
[edit]- Let me make it clear that we don’t want to enhance our revenue by selling liquor. But will the sale and consumption of liquor stop, if it is banned? That is a big question. In fact, we have a vast chunk of people serving in the army and paramilitary forces who are officially entitled to their quota of liquor. We have tribes who have been traditionally brewing liquor and consuming it. The result of the liquor ban (elsewhere) has been dangerous -- people started producing illicit liquor and took to drugs. Banning liquor will not only lead to a revenue loss but people will also start drinking illicit liquor. So, we will discourage people from having liquor by creating awareness.
