Kuwait wants end to smuggling of Pakistani heroin
|
Kuwait has demanded that Pakistan take immediate measures to stop the massive heroin smuggling from Pakistani airports into the country as the drug poses a serious threat to its internal security and stability.| "Or at least cut us in on a little of the action." |
The Kuwaiti government is concerned that the drug has gained popularity among the rich tribal section of society, according to official documents of the Ministry of Labour and Overseas Pakistanis, seen by Daily Times, that will be discussed by a National Assembly standing committee on Friday.
The Amir of Kuwait, during a recent visit to Pakistan, told a delegation of senators headed by Senate Chairman Muhammadmian Soomro that the Kuwaiti government had restricted the issuance of visas to Pakistani workers because they were smuggling heroin into the country.
Top level sources confirmed that after receiving the reports from Kuwait, President General Pervez Musharraf directed Narcotics Minister Ghous Bux Mehar to rush to Kuwait and meet with the first deputy prime minister to remove their apprehensions. During their discussions, Kuwaits first deputy prime minister told Mr Mehar that drug smuggling from Pakistan had become a major threat to the security and satiability of the state. All the heroin available in Kuwait was coming from Pakistan, he said. Sources said Mr Mehar briefed the Kuwait official on Pakistans efforts to eradicate poppy cultivation and assured him that Pakistan would address Kuwaits concerns.
