Indian guru Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, who is also known as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, has warned the drug problem in Fiji has to be controlled now or else the country will face a pandemic like no other in ten years.

He made the comment while speaking to The Fiji Times on Wednesday, the eve of his final public program in Nadi.

“Fiji also currently has a huge problem of nasha (drugs),” Guru Shastri said.

“I am urging all the citizens of Fiji who will read my comments through The Fiji Times that the Government should introduce harsher laws.

“I am also asking all residents of this country not to do nasha and ensure this country maintains its respect and dignity.”

Guru Shastri said young people must come forward and fight this or else all the good plans for this country would be disrupted.

“The youth population will be devastated.

“This country will face a pandemic like no other in ten years.”

Guru Shastri said in the future, if he had time, he would come back to Fiji to specifically hold prayers and devotions “to rid this country of drugs”.

“I will give this country nasha mukti.

“My prediction is that if the drug situation is controlled, the future generations of this country will have a very bright future.”
