He said that Gandhiji was a staunch opponent of alcohol but our Governments promote liquor to earn revenue which is immoral and anti development. This causes bad effect upon women & youths, breaks our family structure but political parties ignore prohibition in their election manifesto and this is a matter of serious concern, he mentioned.
