The AL president said the children of those who earn money illegally go to the wrong path, their studies are destroyed and they get addicted to drugs due to that money because their parents have no time to look after their children but remain engaged in earning illegal money.
The Premier said that we don’t want such a social condition; we want everybody to earn money in an honest way and move with honor.
