Sheikh Khursheed (a member of the Awami Ittehad Party) from Langate constituency in north Kashmir staged a boycott of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha's anti-drug campaign following the demolition of a local family's house. The demolition, which occurred on May 11, 2026, was linked to an eight-year-old narcotics case where the accused was acquitted. Khursheed criticized the demolition as part of a broader effort by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the L-G to displace locals under the pretext of combating drug abuse. He argued that the demolition violated Supreme Court guidelines requiring prior notice before such actions. The affected family had recently built their home after selling land, and Khursheed highlighted their plight, stating that they were unable to retrieve their belongings from the debris. He questioned the L-G's commitment to public health, pointing out the absence of liquor bans despite the anti-drug campaign. The police justified the demolition as part of a legal process targeting properties linked to drug trafficking, asserting that they followed due legal procedures. The L-G, meanwhile, emphasized the interconnectedness of drug abuse and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, stating that efforts to combat one must address the other as well.
