    This is just naught! Just a drop of water in an endless sea., Mr president you know very well this is the same game where innocents addicts are suffering not the dealers so better to find the right solution. I know that your bussy in party politics. The Project on National Security Reform is urgent, should be done fast and you need competent people to advice you on this not fahal saeed or juha.
    Who is the person in charge this of MDPs fifth pledge (dhoru bandhu kuraa), for all time there’s Aslam chatting various junk gulhilaamehifa, also we notice another idiot coming and saying we don’t have funds and to get rid of the resorts.
    Mr president do you know what’s with narcotics control bureau?, and what’s their policies next five years? Will you unearth a competent gentleman to anti narcotics bureau?
    Do you know? what’s the prime menace our nation is facing? no it’s not islamic fundamentalism, no it’s not LTTE either, yes it is the drug problem.
    Note: Transnational organized crimes ( research well our police people and then start the war on drugs we need the entire justice structure overhauled ).. Study links crime and heroin addiction: in united states
    Eg: 1971 Nixon declares war on drugs; see what the development the powerful United States made... Even now USA is the number one country consuming drugs, which is trafficked via Latin American countries. 2000 Clinton delivers $1.3 billion in aid to help Colombia combat drug traffickers.
    Note: Please people think this is a small country when compared to USA so we just can’t play publicity stunts which Maumoon played by high jacking police.
